You have two unknown rates, so we need to develop two equations to solve for these unknowns (based on the information given on the problem statement):
5x + 10y = 725
x + y = 100
By substitution, we get:
5x + 10(100 - x) = 725
5x + 1000 - 10x = 725
-5x = 725 - 1000
-5x = -275
x = -275/-5 = 55
100 - 55 = 45
Thus:
The mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged his time at $55/hr, and the mechanic who worked for 10 hours charged his time at $45/hr.
To verify, plug and chug the results back into the original equations:
5(55) + 10(45) = 725
275 + 450 = 725
725 = 725 [OK]
55 + 45 = 100 [OK]
he payed 58 dollars to rent a bike for two hours because 40+9=49 & 49+9=58

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
6/18 = x/(20-x)
1/3 = x/(20-x) Multiply both sides by 20-x
(20-x)/3 = x Multiply both sides by 3
20-x = 3x Add x in both sides
20 = 4x Divide both sides by 4
5 = x
