Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together the

y charged a total of $1900. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $155 per hour?

For this case we propose a system of equations:

Let "x" be the variable that represents the hourly rate of the first mechanic.

Let "y" be the variable that represents the hourly rate of the second mechanic.

We have to:

10x + 15y = 1900\\x + y = 155

We clear "x" from the second equation:

x = 155-y

we substitute in the first one:

10 (155-y) + 15y = 1900\\1550-10y + 15y = 1900\\5y = 1900-1550\\5y = 350\\y = \frac {350} {5}\\y = 70

Thus, the second mechanic charges $ 70 per hour.

x = 155-70\\x = 85

So, the first mechanic charges $ 80 per hour,

Answer:

The first mechanic charges $ 85 per hour,

The second mechanic charges $ 70 per hour.

When you are looking for the answer in this type of scenario you do.
I=PRT (interest = price•rate•time)

I = $1900•$155•25 (you add the two times)
I = $7,362,500

Hope this helps.

Identify the transformation that occurs to create the graph of g(x). g(x)=f(x)-7
Aleks [24]

Answer:

g(x) is obtained by shift the function f(x) down 7 units by subtracting 7 units from f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

g(x)=f(x)-7

We have to identify  the transformation that occurs to create the graph of g(x).

To identify  the transformation that occurs to create the graph of g(x)

We will subtract the 7 from f(x).

Let f(x) be any function

g(x)=f(x)-k

It means g(x) obtained by  shift the function f(x) down  k units by subtracting k units from f(x).

Therefore, g(x) is obtained by shift the function f(x) down 7 units by subtracting 7 units from f(x).

Help me with question 21 to get brainliest
Andrej [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can call the original value x. In 2012, the painting's value was 1.05 x. In the beginning of 2013, the value was (1.05 x) * 0.98, and that increased to (1.05x) * 0.98 * 1.40 at the end of 2013. When we simplify, we get 1.4406 x as a value, and we know that this is equal to $52,640. We can write 1.4406x = 52640, and when we solve for x, we get x ≈ $36415.38. Hope this helps!
