It is given in the question that
Ms. Velez will use both x gray bricks and y red bricks to build a wall around her garden. Gray bricks cost $0.45 each and red bricks cost $0.58 each. She can spend up to $200 on her project, and wants the number of red bricks to be less than half the number of gray bricks.
Maximum she can spend is $200. That is
And
And that's the required inequalities .
Alright, lets get started.
Suppose first mechanic charges= x
So, second mechanic charges will be = (because total of their rates was 125)
first mechanic worked for 5 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours and together they charged a total of $1225
Means
Adding 10 x in both sides
Subtracting 1225 from both sides
Dividing 10 in both sides
x = 65
For second mecahnics rate = 125 - 65 = 60
Hence The mechanic who worked 5 hours charged $ 65 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $ 60 per hour: Answer
Hope it will help :)
EXPLANATION:
-To formulate an equation, you must first know what data the exercise gives us to locate them correctly.
data:
-6 that must be added to a number.
-four times a number that is equal to 4x
-a result that is equal to 50
Now with these data we formulate the equation:
if we solve the equation we have:
