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

Are the following figures similar? Rectangles ABCD and EFGH are shown. AB equals 5. BC equals 25. EF equals 3. FG equals 15. Yes
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

If two figures are similar, the lengths of their sides are proportional.  This means if we set up a proportion with the sides we are given and cross-multiply, we get a true statement at the end of it.

Using the similarity statement ABCD~EFGH, we will compare AB to EF and BC to FG:

5/3 = 25/15

Cross multiply:

5(15) = 3(25)

75 = 75

We got a true statement, so the sides are proportional.

Kevin is 3 years older than brendon two years ago Kevin was 4 times as old as brendon . How old is Kevin now
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

  Kevin is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k represent Kevin's age now. Then Brendon's age now is (k-3). Two years ago the relationship of their ages was ...

  k-2 = 4((k-3) -2)

  k -2 = 4k -20 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  3k = 18 . . . . . . . . . . add 20-k

  k = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Kevin is 6 now.
