Answer:
y = 9.54
and, x = 0.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
x - 2y = -19 .......................(1)
3x + 5y = 48 ...............(2)
Based on the above information
Multiply by 3 in equation 1
So,
3x - 6y = -57
3x + 5y = 48
- - -
-11y = -105
y = 9.54
So, the x would be
x - 2(9.54) = -19
x - 19.08 = -19
x = -19 + 19.08
x = 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make,
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
