a mechanic worked 20 hours. another mechanic worked 15 hours. together they charged a total of $1950. what was the rate charged

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The mechanics both charged $70 and $45 per hour respectively

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by calling the mechanics hourly rates x and y respectively. So if one worked for 20 hours and charged 20 times x dollars, and the other one worked for 15 hours and charged 15 times y dollars, totalling 1950 dollars, we can write the following expression,

20x + 15y = 1950

Also, if the sum of the two rates was 115 dollars, that means for working for an hour only, they both would earn

x + y = 115

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations

20x + 15y = 1950 --------(1)

x + y = 115 ------------------(2)

We shall use the substitution method for this problem.

From equation (2), make x the subject of the equation

x = 115 - y

Substitute for the value of x into equation (1)

20(115 - y) + 15y = 1950

2300 - 20y + 15y = 1950

By collecting like terms we now have

2300 - 1950 = 20y - 15y

(Note that when a negative value crosses to the other side of the equation, it becomes a positive value and vice versa)

350 = 5y

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

70 = y

We now substitute for the value of y into equation (2)

x + y = 115

x + 70 = 115

Subtract 70 from both sides of the equation

x = 45.

Therefore, the rate they charged per hour were $45 and $70 respectively.

Solve for X and Y: <br> Y=2+7x and -2x+6y=-28

Furkat [3]

Answer:

x=-1 and y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

ሰላም!

Given expressions let them given as two equations

y=2+7x....... equation (1)
-2x+6y=-28..... equation (2)

Thus, substitute y=2+7x into equation (2)

$- 2x + 6(2 + 7x) = - 28 \\$

simplify it

$- 2x + 12 + 42x = - 28 \\ 40x + 12 = - 28$

subtract 12 from both sides

$40x + 12 - 12 = - 28 - 12 \\ 40x = - 40$

divide both sides by 40

$\frac{40x}{40} = \frac{ - 40}{40} \\ x = - 1$

Therefore, as we get the value of x=-1 substitute it to equation (1) and solve for variable y

$y = 2 + 7x \\ y = 2 + 7( -1 ) \\ y = 2 - 7 \\ y = - 5$

To be more sure make a cross check on both of the two expressions

Thus,

1) y=2+7x .... substitute y=-5 and x=-1 and check if it is equal

-5=2+7(-1)

-5=2-5

-5=-5

2)-2x+6y=-28... substitute and check

-2(-1)+6(-5)=-28

2-30=-28... (-a)(-b)=ab

-28=-28

Hope it helps!
