You are remodeling your kitchen. You've contacted two tiling companies who gladly told you how long it took their workers to tile a floor of a similar size,
Jim completed half the floor in 12 hours, Pete completed the other half of the
floor in 10 hours. If Pete can lay 25 more tiles per hour than Jim, what
equation would you use to find the rate that Jim can lay tiles? Let x represent
Jim's rate

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
