So firstly let’s set a ‘algebra’
Let’s make the hours working after school as ‘x’
So Chase works totally 18 hours last week
So the hours he works on Saturday is (18-x)
And given the salary of working after school is $8 per hour,and the salary of working on Saturday is $10,and he earned $156
So with these we can write a equation
8x+10(18-x)=156
solve it,
8x+180-10x=156
-2x=-24
X=12
as I said x is the hour working after school
The hour working on Saturday should be 18-x
18-12=6
Answer is 6

you are making a picture frame in your shop class. two peices of wood are cut to form complementary angles so they fit fit toget
Andrews [41]

Two angles are complementary when their sum is equal to 90°.

So, ( 2x + 39 ) + ( 7x - 21 ) = 90°

9x + 18° = 90°

x = 8°

Putting value of x in the angles given :

( 2x + 39 )° = 2(8°) + 39° = 55°.

( 7x - 21 )° = 7(8°) - 21° = 35°.

Therefore, the angles are 55° and 35°.

Hence, this is the required solution.
