Answer:
area = 2x² - 17x - 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangle is:
area = (width*length)
area = (x+7)*(2x-3)
= x*2x + x*-3 + 7*2x + 7*-3
= 2x² - 3x - 14x - 21
= 2x² - 17x - 21
The answer is $113 because you add the money
Let x and y be the rate per hour for Mechanic 1 and 2 respectively.
Then,
x+y=205 ---------- (1)
Additionally,
10x+15y = 2500 ------ (2)
Solving equations 1 and 2;
Multiply (1) by 10 and subtract two from the result,
10x+10y = 2050
10x +15 y =2500
----------------------
-5 y = --450 => y = 450/5 = $90
Then,
x= 205-90 = $115
Therefore,
Mechanic 1 charged $115 per hour
Mechanic 2 charged $90 per hour
