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

Kyla makes a triangular school pennant. The area of the triangle is 180 square inches. The base of the pennant is z inches long. The height is 6 inches longer than twice the base length. The base and height can be solve using the formal A =bh/2

Since b = z and h = 6 + 2z

180 = z(6+2z) /2

B =Z =12 in

H = 30 in

Just add 70 and 30 together and then subtract it from 180
70+30+x=180 100=180 subtract 100 from 180 and x=80 and to check this just add 70+30+80=180 it checks out
Hope this helps have a nice day
