mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y
* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)
mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1
and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2
together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.
20x + 5y = 1150
the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.
x + y = 95
which means
x = 95 - y
plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.
20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150
solve for y
1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr
Now use this to solve for x
x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr
mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr
Answer:
2.25 is thhe slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
A = l*w
We know the length is 5 and the width is (x+5)
A = 5*(x+5)
Distribute
A = 5x+25
Answer: AI is 8, Rob is 18, and Bert is 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so the sum of their age is 62. Bert is x2 of Rob. Also someone is 10 years older than AI, lets assume Rob is the guy that is 10 years older. x+y+10+(z times 2)=62. So lets solve it. 62-10=52. 52=x+y+(z times 2). Now if you think about it x and y is the same, because the 10 is already minused. So it's now x*2+z*2=52, if you assume it now, z is x+10. So now it is 52=x*2+(x+10)x2. Now we break out the brackets so its x*2+x*2+20=52. Lets simplify it. x*4+20=52, lets swift the 20 the the other side. x*4=52-20, x*4=32. 32/4=8 so 8 is x. Now we know AI is 8, Rob is 18, and Bert is 36!
Multiply the number of packages by the mean. Then subtract the two totals:
400 x 4 = 1600
500 x 5 = 2500
weight of 5th package = 2500 - 1600 = 900kg
answer: 900 kg
