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:
<u>Given system:</u>
<u>Multiply the first equation by 7 and add up the equations:</u>
- -7x + 7y + 7x + 3y = 7*8 - 16
- 10y = 40
- y = 4

Answer:
The measures of the angles are 150° and 30°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the measures of the angles, with x representing the larger angle.
x + y = 180 . . . . . . the two angles are supplementary
x = 90 + 2y . . . . . one is 90° more than twice the other
___
Substituting the expression given by the second equation into the first, we have ...
(90 +2y) +y = 180
3y = 90 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 90
y = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y
x = 180 -y = 150
The measures of the angles are 150° and 30°.
The first part of the second line, she left the -5 there. The correct work and solution should be this:
5(2x-1)-3x=5x+9
<span><span>7x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>5x</span>+<span>9
</span></span>2x-5=9
2x=14
x=7
