Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic charged $65 per hour, and the second mechanic charged $60 per hour. The mechanics worked for a combined total of 25 hours, and together they charged a total of $1600 . How long did each mechanic work? First mechanic: ? hours
Second mechanic: ? hours

First mechanic: 12.8 hours & Second mechanic:12.8 hours

First mechanic made 832$ & Second mechanic made 768$

Hope this is right. If not I apologize and please let me know:)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would do 65+60=125. You do this to find how much they charge together. Then you would take the amount of money they make and divide that from 125: 1600/125=12.8. Now that you have 12.8 you would plug that in for each mechanic: 65 times 12.8=832 and 60 times 12.8=768. Now you have the amount of money each mechanic made and the amount of hours they worked.

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
