Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours.

Together they charged a total of $2100. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates
was $165 per hour?

X + Y = 165


15x + 10y = 2100


Solving


X = 125 - Y
