Answer:
11 17/21
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step you would take is to combine all like terms in the parentheses.
5a - 4a = a
Then you would multiply 2 by a, which would equal 2a.
Finally, combine all like terms (all terms with a), to get 8a. (2a + 6a = 8a)
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Sunil = 10 and Sushil= 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Present ages-
Sushil= 4x
Sunil= x
5 years ago-
Sushil = 4x - 5
Sunil = x - 5
4x - 5 = 7(x - 5) = 4x - 5 = 7x - 35
= -5 = 3x - 35
= 30 = 3x
= 10 = x
So substitute the xs for 10-
Present Sushil= 4 x 10 = 40
Present Sunil= 10
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
