Ответ:
10x + 15y = 2575
we also know that the 2 rates added together equals 210. this means:
x + y = 210
we can actually solve for x or t on this second one easily:
x= 210 - y. Or y = 210 - x
I'm going to use the x= 210 - y but you could use the other one.
since I know what x equals I can actually substitute it in on the first equation like so:
10 * (210 - y) + 15y = 2575
notice how I combined the 2 equations
2100 - 10y + 15y = 2575
move the 2100 to other side by subtracting and combine y' s
5y = 475
y = 95
So so we know the 15 hour employee charged $95 an hour. we can plug this into second equation and find other wage. like this:
x = 210 - 95
x = 115
So this 1st guy made $115 an hour
