The rate charged per hour by each mechanic was:  x = 75 $ / hr and y = 115 $ / hr.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Given;

The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours.

Together they charged a total of $3225.

For this case we have the following variables:

x be the amount of $ / hr that the mechanic obtains 1.

y be the amount of $ / hr obtained by mechanic 2.

An equation to express this would be:

x + y = 190

20x + 15y = 3225

Solving the system of equations we have:

20x + 15(190 -x) = 3225

20x + 2850 - 15x = 3225

5x = 375

x = 75

simililary

y = 190 - x

y = 115

Hence, the rate charged per hour by each mechanic was:

x = 75 $ / hr

y = 115 $ / hr

The area of the rectangle is 40% larger than the area of the triangle.What is the length ,L, of the rectangle?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle (A') = 1/2bh

A' = 1/2bh............ Equation 1

Where b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle

From the diagram,

Given: b = 12.5 unit, h = 4 unit

Substitute into equation 1

A' = 1/2(12.5)(4)

A' = 25 squared unit.

Also,

Area of the rectangle (A) = Lenght(L)×width(w)

A = Lw............ Equation 2

From the question,

If the area of the rectangle is 40% larger than the area of the triangle

Therefore,

A = 1.4A'

A = 1.4(25)

A = 35 squared unit.

Also given: w = 3\frac{1}{2} = 7/2

Substitute into equation 2

35 = L×7/2

7L = 35×2

7L = 70

L = 70/7

L = 10 units

I need help finding the value of x and the measure of each angle
anastassius [24]

Answer:

x=7,  angle a= 45 degrees, angle b= 65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle must add up to 180. Subtract 70 from 180, add both angle a and angle b to get 16x-2=110, solve for x, x=7. Substitute x out for 7 in the equations then simplify to get angle a=45 and angle b=65
