<u>Answer:</u>
$50 and $115
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that,
the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour
Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.
Then combining their charges together to get:
Solving for x to get:
So the rate charged per hour by one mechanic is $50 and for the other mechanic = 
$115.
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is 48
<h2>X² + 2x = 4</h2><h2 />
When completing the square, the goal is to create
a perfect square trinomial on the left side of the equation.
The number used to create one will come from
half the coefficient of the middle term squared.
In this case, that's half of 2 squared or 1 squared, which is 1.
So we add 1 to both sides giving us x² + 2x + 1 = 5.
From here, we set this as a binomial squared.
The first term is an x and the second term will
be half the coefficient of the middle term squared.
So we have (x + 1)² = 5.
Now square root both sides and remember to use plus or minus.
So we have x + 1 = ±√5.
Now subtract 1 form both sides to get x = -1 ± √5.
