The rate charged per hour by each mechanic was: x = 75 $ / hr and y = 115 $ / hr.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.
Given;
The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours.
Together they charged a total of $3225.
For this case we have the following variables:
x be the amount of $ / hr that the mechanic obtains 1.
y be the amount of $ / hr obtained by mechanic 2.
An equation to express this would be:
x + y = 190
20x + 15y = 3225
Solving the system of equations we have:
20x + 15(190 -x) = 3225
20x + 2850 - 15x = 3225
5x = 375
x = 75
simililary
y = 190 - x
y = 115
Hence, the rate charged per hour by each mechanic was:
x = 75 $ / hr
y = 115 $ / hr

They are simple linear equations with one unknown, lets tackle them, one step at the time solving for the unknown:
4x - 2(x - 5) = x + 13
4x - 2x + 10 = x + 13
2x + 10 = x + 13
2x - x = 13 - 10
x = 3
that is the solution.
3(6 - x) - 4 = 5x + 2(7x + 3)
18 - 3x - 4 = 5x + 14x + 6
14 - 3x = 19x + 6
14 - 6 = 19x + 3x
8 = 22x
x = 8/22 = 4/11
130x5=650
650-104=546
546-137=409
409-154=255
255-131=124
x=124
Answer:
925 marks.
Step-by-step explanation:
AS Biraj had 20 less marks then the 40% pass mark must be 350+20 = 370.
370 is equivalent to 40%
So 100% = 100*370 / 40
= 925 marks.
The total cost of the customers order is s/2 + 1.50 dollars.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let s represent the cost of sandwich
Cost of pretzels = 1.50 dollars
Special offer by deli lunch = Half of the cost of sandwich + bag of pretxel
Cost of offer. = s/2 + 1.50 dollars
Original order = 1 sandwich
Originial cost = s dollars
