Create equations:
10X+15y=2575.
X+Y=210.
Solve for X: X=210-Y, and sub it into the other equation: 10(210-Y)+15Y=2575. Solve for Y: 2,100-10y+15y=2575, 5y=475, y=95.
Sub Y into the original problem: X+95=210. Solve: X=115.
The first mechanic charges $115 per hour and the second charges $95 :)

You can use 2 equations for this. let's use x to stand for 10 hour mechanic rate and y for 15 hour mechanic rate. So for first equation we know the total amount of money made was 2575. we also know that each mechanic charged 10x (10 hours times his pay rate) and 15y (15 hours times other payrate). So:
10x + 15y = 2575

we also know that the 2 rates added together equals 210. this means:
x + y = 210

we can actually solve for x or t on this second one easily:
x= 210 - y. Or y = 210 - x

I'm going to use the x= 210 - y but you could use the other one.

since I know what x equals I can actually substitute it in on the first equation like so:
10 * (210 - y) + 15y = 2575

notice how I combined the 2 equations
2100 - 10y + 15y = 2575

move the 2100 to other side by subtracting and combine y' s
5y = 475
y = 95

So so we know the 15 hour employee charged $95 an hour. we can plug this into second equation and find other wage. like this:
x = 210 - 95
x = 115

So this 1st guy made $115 an hour

What is the total amount in an investment of $3500 that was compounded quarterly for 8 years at a rate of 5%?
erica [24]

Answer:

Principal = 3500

Time = 8 years

We are given that compound quarterly

So, No. of compounds per year = 2

Rate of interest = 5%

Formula : A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Substitute the values :

A=3500(1+\frac{0.05}{2})^{2 \times 2}

A=3863.345

Interest = 3863.345 - 3500 = 363.345

Hence the total amount in an investment of $3500 that was compounded quarterly for 8 years at a rate of 5% is $3863.345 and the interest that was made on that account mentioned is $363.345

if the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p=2l+2w, what is the formula for w in terms of p and l
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

(p-2l)/2 = w

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2l+2w


We want to solve for w.

The first step is to subtract 2l from each side

p-2l=2l-2l+2w

p-2l=2w

Then we will divide each side by 2 to isolate w

(p-2l)/2 = 2w/2

(p-2l)/2 = w
