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

What is the slope of y = -1 + 3x?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

− 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the equation as: y = − 3 x + 0 This equation is now in the slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y = m x + b Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value. For: y = − 3 x + 0 the slope is: m = − 3

How many different arrangements can be made with the letter of the word 'M O R O C C O'?
valentinak56 [21]
Since the order matters, it's a permutation of 7 letters, but mind you in 
MOROCCO. you have 3 O's and 2 C's, Hence the arrangements are:

⁷P₇ /(3!2!) = 7!/(3!2!) = 5040/(3!2!) = 420 arrangements
