Answer:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the rate of the first mechanic with x and the second with y.

So, we have:

x + y = 160

The total earnings is: $1850, so we have:

5x + 15y = 1850

Required

Determine the rate of each

The equations are:

x + y = 160 --- (1)

5x + 15y = 1850 --- (2)

Divide (2) through by 5

x + 3y = 370 --- (3)

Subtract (1) from (3)

x - x + 3y - y = 370 - 160

2y = 210

Divide through by 2

y = \frac{210}{2}

y = 105

Substitute 105 for y in (1)

x + y = 160

Make x the subject

x = 160 - y

Substitute 105 for y

x = 160 - 105

x = 55

Hence:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

What two numbers multiplies to 36 and add to negative 21
anastassius [24]
Factor 36 and add them, make sure both are negatie
1+36=37, nope
2+18=20 nope
3+12=15,nope
4+9=13, nope
6+6=12, nope

the closest one is 20

I hope you meant adds to -20, because if you did, then answer is -2 and -18

if you did mean 36 and adds to -21, then the numbers are \frac{-21-3 \sqrt{33} }{2} and \frac{-21+3 \sqrt{33} }{2}, aprox -19.1168 and  -1.8831
