Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your two equations are ...

4s +6t = 70
2s +4t = 42

Double the second equation and subtract the first:

2(2s +4t) -(4s +6t) = 2(42) -(70)

2t = 14 . . . . . simplify

t = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 2

The cost of each tie is $7.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for

yuradex [85]

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 :)
