Answer:

First: $65

Second: $115

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=180 since their sum is 180.

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=180, rearrange to b=180-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.

15a + 5 (180-a)=1550

15a+900-5a=1550

10a+900-900=1550-900

10a=650

a=$65 was charged by the first mechanic.

We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.

65+b=180

65-65+b=180-65

b= $115 was charged by the second mechanic

3. The regression equation y = –0.414x + 106.55 approximates the percent of people in an audience who finish watching a document
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The answer is 78%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: The given regression equation y = -0.414x + 106.55

Step 2: The length of the film  = 70 minutes

Step 3: Plug in x = 70 in the given equation and find the value of y.

y = -0.414 (70) + 106.55

y = -28.98 + 106.55

y = 77.57

Y = 78%

Hope you will understand. :)
