Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of

Step-by-step explanation:

let's convert the statement into equation..

let the charge of 1st mechanic be x and second be y..

by the question..

10x+5y=750...(i)

x+y=105..(ii)

from eqn(ii)..

x+y=105

or, x=105-y...(iii)

substituting the value of x in eqn (i)..

10x+5y=750

or, 10(105-y)+5y=750

or, 1050-10y+5y=750

or, 1050-750=5y

or, y=300/5

•°• y=60

substituting the value of y in eqn(iii).

x=105-y

or, x=105-60

•°• x= 45..

the rate charged by two mechanics per hour was 60$ and 45$
