You have two unknown rates, so we need to develop two equations to solve for these unknowns (based on the information given on the problem statement):
5x + 10y = 725
x + y = 100
By substitution, we get:
5x + 10(100 - x) = 725
5x + 1000 - 10x = 725
-5x = 725 - 1000
-5x = -275
x = -275/-5 = 55
100 - 55 = 45
Thus:
The mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged his time at $55/hr, and the mechanic who worked for 10 hours charged his time at $45/hr.
To verify, plug and chug the results back into the original equations:
5(55) + 10(45) = 725
275 + 450 = 725
725 = 725 [OK]
55 + 45 = 100 [OK]

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Z theorem, the upper angle on the right = 60 degrees.
The angle which includes 3x is 120 because this is a parallelogram and consecutive angles must add to 180. So 180 - 60 = 120
The angle above the 3x is 120 - 3x
120 - 3x + 90 + 2x = 180 These angles make a straight line line. Combine.
210 - x = 180 Subtract 210 from both sides.
- x = 180 - 210 Combine
-x = - 30 Multiply both sides by - 1
x = 30
