Answer: x=5 , y=3
steps:
3x-2(2x-7)=9
simplify
(-x+14=9)
isolate x for -x+14=9
x=5
y=2(5)-7
y=3
I answer this question before this is the solution just change the total of $2750:
Two mechanics worked on a car, The first mechanic worked for 20 hours and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours together they charged a total of $1150.
Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y
* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)
mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1
and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2
together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.
20x + 5y = 1150
the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.
x + y = 95
which means
x = 95 - y
plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.
20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150
solve for y
1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr
Now use this to solve for x
x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr
mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
it's going to alternate back and froth between positive and negative, maybe it will make one of those "telescoping" sequences
<span>The answer is biased because it isnt valied if 1 out of 100 is defective, then 30 out of 3000 would be defective. He wants his company to look better</span>
