Answer: the electrician's hourly labor rate is $29.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the electrician's hourly labor rate.

electrician charges a $40 dollar fee to make a house call plus an hourly rate for labor. This means that the total bill for a job that takes y hours would be expressed as

xy + 40

If the total bill for a job that takes 2 hours comes to $99, it means that

2x + 40 = 99

2x = 99 - 40

2x = 59

x = 59/2 = 29.5

Julio bought tables and chairs for his restaurant. He bought 16 total items and spent $1800. Each table cost $150 and each chair
uysha [10]

Answer:

He bought 6 chairs and 10 tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 16

he spent = $1800

1 chair = $50

y chairs = $50y

1 table = $150

x chairs = $150x

so, 150x+50y = 1800

we got two equations :

x+ y = 16

150x+50y = 1800

Using. substitution method,

x+y = 16

so, x = 16-y

Now

150x+50y =1800

or, 150(16-y) + 50y = 1800

or, 2400-150y+50y = 1800

or, 2400-1800 = 150y-50y

or, 600=100y

so, y = 6

now,

x+y = 16

or, x + 6 = 16

so, x = 10
