~Good Luck~
T = How tall they are.
Robin = 180
His brother = x cm shorter
T = 180 - x
-5(x+7)<-10
-5x-35<-10
+35. +35
-4x<25
both divided by-4
x> -6.25
i flipped the sign because I divided with a negative number. and I hope you can make -6.25 into a fraction, I can't because I don't have a calculator with me :(
Answer:
<em>Mechanic A worked for 5 hours</em> and <em>Mechanic B worked for 15 hours</em>
I hope my answer and explanation helped!
<u>okay to get started you need to make a system of equations:</u>
x= number of hours worked by mechanic A
y= number of hours worked by mechanic B
x + y= 20
95x + 60y= 1375
<u>substitute in an equation:</u>
x + y= 20
y= 20- x
95x + 60(20-x)=1375
<u>Solve for x</u>
95x + 1200 - 60x=1375
35x =175
x= 5
<u>plug in x to solve for y</u>
x + y= 20
5 + y= 20
y=15
<u>Check work</u>
then you're done :D
