14 days = 2 weeks so
14 times 3 = 42
0.3 because it’s less than 5
The rate charged per hour by each mechanic was: x = 75 $ / hr and y = 115 $ / hr.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.
Given;
The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours.
Together they charged a total of $3225.
For this case we have the following variables:
x be the amount of $ / hr that the mechanic obtains 1.
y be the amount of $ / hr obtained by mechanic 2.
An equation to express this would be:
x + y = 190
20x + 15y = 3225
Solving the system of equations we have:
20x + 15(190 -x) = 3225
20x + 2850 - 15x = 3225
5x = 375
x = 75
simililary
y = 190 - x
y = 115
Hence, the rate charged per hour by each mechanic was:
x = 75 $ / hr
y = 115 $ / hr

Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
2(-5r + 2) = 84
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>r</u></em>
- Divide 2 on both sides: -5r + 2 = 42
- Subtract 2 on both sides: -5r = 40
- Divide -5 on both sides: r = -8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in r into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>r</em>: 2(-5(-8) + 2) = 84
- Multiply: 2(40 + 2) = 84
- Add: 2(42) = 84
- Multiply: 84 = 84
Here we see that 84 does indeed equal 84.
∴ r = -8 is a solution of the equation.
<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>
264 = -8(-8 + 5x)
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Divide both sides by -8: -33 = -8 + 5x
- Add 8 to both sides: -25 = 5x
- Divide 5 on both sides: -5 = x
- Rewrite: x = -5
<u>Step 6: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in<em> x</em>: 264 = -8(-8 + 5(-5))
- Multiply: 264 = -8(-8 - 25)
- Subtract: 264 = -8(-33)
- Multiply: 264 = 264
Here we see that 264 does indeed equal 264.
∴ x = -5 is a solution of the equation.
