<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers is:

The first mechanic's rate is $70 per hour.

The second mechanic's rate is $110 per hour.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's write the given information in order to make the equations that will help us to solve this problem.

Let be "x" the first mechanic's rate and "y" the second mechanic's rate, so:

If the first mechanic worked for 5 hours and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours, and the together charged a total of $2000.

5x+15y=2000

Also, we know that the sum of the two rates was $170 per hour, so:

x+y=180

Then, isolating "x" and replacing it into the first equation, we have:

x=180-y

5(180-y)+15y=2000

900-5y+15y=2000

10y=2000-900

10y=1100

y=\frac{1100}{10}=110

So, the second mechanic's rate is $110 per hour.

Now, to calculate the first mechanic's rate we need to replace "y" into the second equation:

x+y=180\\x+110=180\\x=180-110=70

So, the first mechanic's rate is $70 per hour.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

Will earn $74.38 in interest or for the total $924.38 for the total amount accrued, principal plus interest

Step-by-step explanation:

I = p x rt

I = 850 x 0.035 x 2.5 = 74.38    (interest)

P' = p + I = 850 + 74.38 = 924.38

<span>1) What is the equation for the line?
</span>slope = 16/2 = 8

answer
equation 
y = 8x

<span>2) What is the equation of a line with a slope of ​3​ and a point (3, 1) on the line?

Express the equation in the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


y - 1 = 3(x - 3)
y - 1 = 3x - 9
y = 3x - 8

answer
</span>y = 3x - 8

Samuel is preventing a boulder from rolling down a hill with a slope of 35°. If the boulder
Rashid [163]

Answer:

1,809.98 lb*m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to know how much weight of the boulder is projected along the path in which the boulder can move.

The weight of the boulder is:

W = 322lb*9.8 m/s^2 = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)

This weight has a direction that is vertical, pointing downwards.

Now, we know that the angle of the hill is 35°

The angle that makes the direction of the weight and this angle, is:

(90° - 35°)

(A rough sketch of this situation can be seen in the image below)

Then we need to project the weight over this direction, and that will be given by:

P = W*cos(90° - 35°) = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)*cos(55°) = 1,809.98 lb*m/s^2

This is the force that Samuel needs to exert on the boulder if he wants the boulder to not roll down.
