Answer:

The first mechanic $90/hour and the second charged $70/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start off by letting x be the first mechanics rate and y being the second mechanics rate. We know that the first mechanic worked 5 hours and that the second mechanic worked 10 hours and together they charged 1150. An equation to express this would be:

5x+10y = 1150

We also know that together they charged 160/per hour. An equation to express this would be:

x+y = 160

Now we can solve the second equation for x or the first mechanics rate.

x+y = 160

x = 160 - y

Now that we have an expression for x we can plug that back into the first equation and solve for y or how much the second mechanic charged.

5x+10y=1150 plug in x =160-y

5(160-y)+10y=1150 Distribute

800 -5y+10y = 1150 Combine like terms

800 +5y = 1150 Subtract 800 from both sides

5y = 350 divide by 5

y = 70

So we know that the second mechanic charged $70/hour. We also know that(from our work before) that the first mechanic charges $160 - the rate the second mechanic charged. We know that's $70/hour so we can plug in and solve for the first rate.

x = 160-y

x = 160-70

x = 90

So we know that the first mechanic charged $90/hour and the second mechanic charged $70/hour.

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x + 4

4(x^2 + 2x + 1) - remove GCF of 4

4(x + 1)(x + 1) - factor

4(x + 1)^2 - collect like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Then also expand it out by distributing:

21x^3 + 35x²

Form 1:

21x^3 + 35x² - unfactored

Form 2:

7x²(3x + 5) - factored with GCF of 7x² brought to the front

Update:

You could also multiply two binomials and make a quadratic.

Example:

(7x + 2)(3x + 5)

7x(3x + 5) + 2(3x + 5)

= 21x² + 35x + 6x + 10

= 21x² + 41x + 10

olasank [31]

Answer:

x = 3 and y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, let's double the first equation to get 6x + 2y = 12. Add this to the second equation to get 10x = 30, so x = 3 and y = -3.
