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

Answer: Neither, Both Unit Prices are equal.
Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the unit price of an item, you divide the quantity by the price. In this case, the Big Lots would be 5.88/12 which equals 49 cents. The Walmart Batteries are 8.82/18 which is also 49 cents. So both batteries are the same price, you should buy the better quality battery in this situation.
Answer:
E: L is perpendicular to a line with slope 
.
Lines are perpendicular if the negative reciprocal of the slope is equal. For example, the reciprocal of 
is 
(remember, to get the reciprocal, simply switch the numerator and the denominator).
So, the negative reciprocal of is . This represents the slope of a line that is perpendicular.
