<span>-24=2(x-4)
Use distributive property
-24=2x-8
Add 8 to both sides
-16=2x
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: -8=x</span>
Answer:a
Step-by-step explanation:hope this helps
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:
9.75 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If Rob drove 35% of the time and Mark drove the remainder of the time, the total is 100 %
100-35 = 65
so Mark drove 65% of the time
The total time driven was 15 hours, so we multiply the total time driven by the percentage of time that Mark drove to find the number of hours that Mark drove.
15 * 65%
15*.65
9.75 hours
