Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour charges of mechanic A = $95

Per hour charges of mechanic B = $75

Total hours worked = 20

Total amount charged = $1800

Let,

x represent the number of hours of mechanic A

y represent the number of hours of mechanic B

According to given statement;

x+y=20          Eqn 1

95x+75y=1800   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 95

95(x+y=20)\\95x+95y=1900\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(95x+95y)-(95x+75y)=1900-1800\\95x+95y-95x-75y=100\\20y=100

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20y}{20}=\frac{100}{20}\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=20\\x=20-5\\x=15

Mechanic A worked for 15 hours and mechanic B worked for 5 hours.

Point K is on line JL. given JL =4x, JK= 2x+3, and KL=x, determine the numerical length of kl​
balandron [24]

Hi! I'm happy to help!

Our total line is JL (4x), and it is split into two parts: JK, and KL. We have our values, and we know that JK+KL=JL, so we can substitute our values and solve for x:

4x=(2x+3)+(x)

4x=3x+3

To solve for x, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 3x from both sides so that we can isolate x:

4x=3x+3

-3x -3x

x=3

<u>So, our x=3, which means that KL=3.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
