The rate charged per hour by each mechanic was: x = 75 $ / hr and y = 115 $ / hr.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.
Given;
The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours.
Together they charged a total of $3225.
For this case we have the following variables:
x be the amount of $ / hr that the mechanic obtains 1.
y be the amount of $ / hr obtained by mechanic 2.
An equation to express this would be:
x + y = 190
20x + 15y = 3225
Solving the system of equations we have:
20x + 15(190 -x) = 3225
20x + 2850 - 15x = 3225
5x = 375
x = 75
simililary
y = 190 - x
y = 115
Hence, the rate charged per hour by each mechanic was:
x = 75 $ / hr
y = 115 $ / hr

She ate 1/8 of the cornbread, and this is fully simplified as well.
Answer:
y = 1/3x + 4 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 6y = 12
First find the slope
Solve for y
Subtract 2x
2x - 6y -2x= 12-2x
-6y = -2x+12
Divide by -6
-6y/-6 =-2x/-6 +12/-6
y = 1/3 x -2
The slope is 1/3
Parallel lines have the same slope
Using the slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 1/3x +b
And substituting in the point
4 = 1/3 (-1) +b
4 = -1/3 +b
Add 1/3 to each side
4 + 1/3 = b
y = 1/3x + 4 1/3
Answer:
-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-6x=-2x. You need to combine like terms or subtract 6 from 4 which is -2 the you add then put the x back in
5/8=x/100
x=(5/8)(100)=500/8
x=62.5%
