Two mechanics worked on a car.

Now, mechanic 1 has spent 5 hours working on the car.

Mechanic 2 has spent 15 hours working on the car.

Lets say mechanic 1 charged 'x' dollars per hour and mechanic 2 charged 'y' dollars per hour.

So,

5x+15y=1575 that is our first equation ( 1 ):

And,

x+y=155 that is our second equation ( 2 ):

Using the two equations we can solve for 'x' and 'y', using our first equation we get:

x+3y=315

x+y=155

On solving for 'x' and 'y' we get:

y=80

and putting the value of 'y' in the equation 2 we get:

x=155-80=75

As mentioned earlier, 'x' represents the charge that mechanic 1 charged per hour and 'y' represents the charge that mechanic 2 charged per hour.

We have x=75 and y=80.

So, the mechanic 1 charged $75 per hour and mechanic 2 charged $80 per hour.

The perimeter of a rectangular table is 20 feet. The width of the table is 3 feet. What is the length of the table
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is denoted by the formula: P=2l+2w , where l is the length and w is the width.

We know that P = 20 and that w = 3. So, let's plug these values in:

20 = 2l+2*3=2l+6

Isolate the variable l by subtracting 6 from both sides and dividing by 2:

2l=20-6=14

l=7

Thus, the answer is 7 feet.

Hope this helps!

The equation 5m=36.25 models a constant rate situation. What is the value of 7m
Bond [772]

Answer:

7m = 50.75

Step-by-step explanation:

5m=36.25

We can solve this for m by dividing each side by 5

5/5m=36.25/5

m = 7.25

We want to find 7m

7(7.25) = 50.75
