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:
x to the third power is x cubed or x^3.
Answer:
161 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 115 cm is 5 boxes, we take 115 and divide it by 5. This will get us the cm of 1 box. 115/5=23
Now we take 23 and multiply it by 7 to get the final height. 23x7=161
I think the percent change would be 25%

The dimensions of the given rectangular box are:</h3><h3>
L = 15.874 cm , B = 15.874 cm , H = 7.8937 cm</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the dimension of the square base = S x S
Let us assume the height of the rectangular base = H
So, the total area of the open rectangular box
= Area of the base + 4 x ( Area of the adjacent faces)
= S x S + 4 ( S x H) = S² + 4 SH ..... (1)
Also, Area of the box = S x S x H = S²H
⇒ S²H = 2000
Substituting the value of H in (1), we get:
Now, to minimize the area put :
Putting the value of S = 15.874 cm in the value of H , we get:
Hence, the dimensions of the given rectangular box are:
L = 15.874 cm
B = 15.874 cm
H = 7.8937 cm
