You have two unknown rates, so we need to develop two equations to solve for these unknowns (based on the information given on the problem statement):
5x + 10y = 725
x + y = 100
By substitution, we get:
5x + 10(100 - x) = 725
5x + 1000 - 10x = 725
-5x = 725 - 1000
-5x = -275
x = -275/-5 = 55
100 - 55 = 45
Thus:
The mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged his time at $55/hr, and the mechanic who worked for 10 hours charged his time at $45/hr.
To verify, plug and chug the results back into the original equations:
5(55) + 10(45) = 725
275 + 450 = 725
725 = 725 [OK]
55 + 45 = 100 [OK]
Answer:
$44.04
Step-by-step explanation:
14.68 * 3 = 44.04
$16.14 =pants
Explanation:
$25-$7.28=17.72
17.72/2 =8.86
8.86+7.28=16.14
25-16.14=8.86 shirt
I hope that helped ..
Answer:
X > (greater than or equal to) -7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 15 > -6
3x > -21 (subtract 15 from both sides)
X > -7 (divide both sides by 3)
