Answer:
Mechanic 1: $55 per hour
Mechanic 2: $105 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Represent the rate of the first mechanic with x and the second with y.
So, we have:

The total earnings is: $1850, so we have:

Required
Determine the rate of each
The equations are:
--- (1)
--- (2)
Divide (2) through by 5
--- (3)
Subtract (1) from (3)


Divide through by 2


Substitute 105 for y in (1)

Make x the subject

Substitute 105 for y


Hence:
Mechanic 1: $55 per hour
Mechanic 2: $105 per hour
The answer to your question is A. Y= -4x-9 because is you look at the pre written equation it shows that 4x is negative and that 9 is negative too. Also, if you rewrite an equation you have to isolate Y. Therefore A is the correct answer
