10
hours, and the second mechanic worked for

hours. Together they charged a total of
$2175
. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was

per hour? Answer by josgarithmetic(39613) (Show Source):
Look how the assigned variables are used in the system.
The 10-hour work mechanic has the rate of x dollars per hour and the 15-hour mechanic has the rate y dollars per hour. Solve the system of equations.
