X = rate of mechanic who worked 5 hours
y = rate of mechanic who worked 15 hours
x + y = 200
5x + 15y = 1950
you find the first variable in one of the equations, then subsitute the result into the other equation. your answer would be:
the mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged $105 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $95 per hour.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
given 2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then
the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is
9 × 4x = 8(4x + 2)
36x = 32x + 16 ( subtract 32x from both sides )
4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 4
Answer:
x = 5/2 & x = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Create two equations and solve
1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0
1) 2x = 5
x = 5/2
2) 3x = 1
x = 1/3
You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
