<span>X/2 = 4/16
This is where you would use cross-multiplication.
Multiply the x with 16 and the 2 with 4.
16x = 8
Now divide everything by 16.
x = 0.5</span>

The rate charged per hour by each mechanic was: x = 75 $ / hr and y = 115 $ / hr.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.
Given;
The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours.
Together they charged a total of $3225.
For this case we have the following variables:
x be the amount of $ / hr that the mechanic obtains 1.
y be the amount of $ / hr obtained by mechanic 2.
An equation to express this would be:
x + y = 190
20x + 15y = 3225
Solving the system of equations we have:
20x + 15(190 -x) = 3225
20x + 2850 - 15x = 3225
5x = 375
x = 75
simililary
y = 190 - x
y = 115
Hence, the rate charged per hour by each mechanic was:
x = 75 $ / hr
y = 115 $ / hr

A positive number divided by a positive number results in a negative quotient, and it's opposite is always positive. The fraction 5/-12 can be described as a positive number divided by a negative number, which always results in a negative quotient. The fractions have different value, so Liam is not correct.
