Respuesta :

Answer:

he first one worked 15 hours, the second one worked 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

First mechanic worked x hours, then second one worked 20 - x hours

First one charged $95*x, second one charged $75*(20-x)

Total charge = 95x + 75(20 - x) = 1800

95x + 1500 - 75x = 1800

20x = 300

x = 15, 20 - x = 5

So the first one worked 15 hours, the second one worked 5 hours.
