25/30=20/4x-4
100x-100=600
x=7
ANSWER 35
Step-by-step explanation:
7 and 5 - 35
Now just simplify the 3 and 4 :)
You would first make an equation to show their individual price per hour multiplied by hours worked then added together to equal total cost. let X be mechanic 1 and Y be mechanic 2
10x + 5y = 1225
the second equation will use their price per hour added together to equal combined cost per hour
x + y = 180
you would solve by substitution. to do so, isolate either x or y in the second equation. for convenience, I will isolate x
x = 180 - y
plug in (180 - y) for x in the first equation
10(180-y) + 5y = 1225
1800 - 10y + 5y = 1225
-5y = -578
y = 115.6
this means that the second mechanic charges $115.60 per hour
to find the price per hour for the first mechanic, plug in (115.6) for y in the second equation
x + 115.6 = 180
x = 64.4
the first mechanic charges $64.40 an hour
