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
hi
You have two points A ( X;Y) and B ( X ; Y)
slope is : ( Yb -Ya) / (Xb -Xa )
A(2 ; 1) and B (17 ; - 17)
so : (-17 - 1 ) / (17 -2) = -18/ 15 = - 6*3 / 5*3 = -6/5
Answer:
x=-4, y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x-10y=-50...(1)
Multiply both sides by -1:
5x+10y=50
5x=50-10y
x=(50-10y)/5
Substitute <u>x=(50-10y)/5</u> into second given eqaution:
10(50-10y)/5+8y=16
Cancel out common factor 5:
2(50-10y)+8y=16
100-20y+8y=16
-12y=16-100
-12y=-84
y=84/12
y=7
Substitute y=7 into equation (1)
-5x-10(7)=-50
-5x-70=-50
-5x=-50+70
-5x=20
x=-20/5
x=-4
