Answer:

The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85

The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Solution

Let

x= hourly rate of the first mechanic

y= hourly rate of the second mechanic

Derive two equations to solve for the two unknowns

10x + 15y = 1900 (1)

x + y = 155 (2)

From (2)

x + y = 155

x=155-y

Substitute x=155-y into (1)

10x + 15y = 1900

10(155-y) + 15y =1900

1550 -10y + 15y =1900

5y =1900-1550

5y=350

Divide both sides by 5

y= 70

Substitute y=70 into (2)

x + y = 155

x + (70) =155

x=155 - 70

= 85

x= 85

The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85

The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70

A company dyes two sizes of rugs. A small rug requires 8 hours for dyeing and a medium-size rug requires 12 hours for dyeing. Th
Katyanochek1 [597]
Let x=small rugs and y=medium rugs. It takes 8 hours to dye a small rug, so you would write 8x. It takes 12 hours to dye a small rug, so you would write 12y. Those two would need to be added together. The dyer needs to dye at least 22 rugs in 240 hours, so you would need a less than or = to sign.
I'm not sure which choice has the line beneath, indicating that the sign is a "less than or equal to" sign, but the answer is gonna be either C or D.
