two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they

charged a total of $1500 . What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $195 per hour?

Answer:

The first mechanic charges $105 per hour, and the second mechanic charges $90 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the rate of the first mechanic, and y is the rate of the second mechanic, then:

10x + 5y = 1500

x + y = 195

Solve the system of equations using elimination or substitution.  Using substitution:

10x + 5 (195 − x) = 1500

10x + 975 − 5x = 1500

5x = 525

x = 105

y = 195 − x

y = 90

The first mechanic charges $105 per hour, and the second mechanic charges $90 per hour.

Solve for x.<br> Sqrt8 (Sqrt2 - x) = 11
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, let's get rid of the parentheses. We can multiply it out to get \sqrt{16}-x\sqrt{8} =11. We know that the square root of 16 is ±4, so now our equation is ±4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. I'm guessing since the problem only has one solution it's most likely only positive 4, so let's revise our equation to 4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. We can use inverse operations to make the a little easier to solve: -7= x\sqrt{8}. We divide both sides by \sqrt{8} to get \frac{-7}{\sqrt{8} } =x, which we can rationalize (remove the square root from the denominator so that it's a proper answer) by multiplying by \frac{\sqrt{8} }{\sqrt{8} } (which is equal to one so we can use it) which is equal to \frac{-7\sqrt{8} }{8}. Let's finish this by simplifying it. \sqrt{8} =2\sqrt{2} (2x2^{2}). We can simplify it further by simplifying the 2, making it \frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}.

Hope this wasn't too confusing! I'll answer any questions.

the sum of three numbers is 79. The second number is 5 times the first, while the third is 16 more than the first. Find the Numb
faust18 [17]
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.

x + y + z = 79

x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first

Therefor,

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x

x + 5x + x + 16 = 79

Add all like numbers:

7x + 16 = 79

To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.

7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63

To get x, divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9

To check. Substitute x by 9.

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
