Step-by-step explanation:
Initial expression = 80 + 78 + (-97) + 12
final expression = 170-97 ==> $73
P <span>≤ </span>450$ Rebecca can only pay equal to 450$ or less than 450$ so she can only afford A and B
Let
x----------> the first mechanic rates
y----------> the second mechanic rates
we know that
x+y=165
15x+5y=1775
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=95
y=70
the answer is
the rates of the first mechanic is 95the rates of the second mechanic is 70
I believe that it is equal to 66. :)
