Answer:

The mechanic who worked 5 hours charged $115 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $120 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = rate of mechanic who worked 5 hours

y = rate of mechanic who worked 15 hours

Then

x + y = 235

5x + 15y = 2375

Just solve these 2 equations above for x and y.

x + y = 235 ⇒ x = 235 - y

Substitute into second equation to find y.

5(235 - y) + 15y = 2375

1175 - 5y + 15y = 2375

10y = 1200

y = 1200/10 = 120

x = 235 - y = 235 - 120 = 115

Answer:

This inequality isn't correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 2 > 2x + 4

Substituting any value for x, the result will be incorrect.

Actually,

2x - 2 < 2x + 4 is correct.

2x - 2x < 4 + 2
