Answer: For the sum of 130
First: $90
Second: $40
Step-by-step explanation:
We write equations for each part of this situation.
<u>The Total Charge</u>
Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.
<u>The Sum of the Rates</u>
Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=130 since their sum is 130.
We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.
For a+b=130, rearrange to b=130-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.
15a + 5 (130-a)=1550
15a+650-5a=1550
10a+650-650=1550-650
10a=900
a=$90 was charged by the first mechanic.
We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.
90+b=130
90-90+b=130-90
b= $40 was charged by the second mechanic

Answer:
i think the answer is 8m
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) -200
2) -126
3) -5 + (-10)
4) -10
5) -60 + (-85) + (-115) = -260
Step-by-step explanation:
You can just add all of them normally then add the negative sign (-) at the end.
