<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!

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

1) 4x^(2)+11x+6 Factored--> (4x+3) (x+2)

2) 4x^(2)+10x+6 Factored--> (2x+3)(2x+2)

3) 4x^(2)+14x+6 Factored--> (x+3)(4x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor: 4x^(2)+11x+6 (<em>step by step)</em>

<em>1) Split the second term (11x) into two terms</em>

<em>       </em>4x^2 + 8x + 3x + 6

<em>2)Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.</em>

      4x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)

<em>3) Factor out the common term x + 2</em>

<em>      </em> (x + 2) (4x + 3)

What is the sum of the first 39 positive odd numbers?
liq [111]
1-39 ODD:
1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39
Now you'd add them all up.
1+3+5+7+9 = 25
11+13+15+17+19 = 75
21+23+25+27+29 = 125
31+33+35+37+39 = 175
Add the totals:
25+75+125+175
The answer would be 400.
