<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

10 weeks

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

<u>We are given that:</u>

Duane adds $5 every other week.

<u>This means that:</u>

Duane adds \frac{5}{2} = $2.5 per week

<u>We are also given that:</u>

Mick adds $2 every week

<u>Therefore:</u>

amount added each week = 2.5 + 2 = $4.5

Now, we know that the total amount they saved is $45 and we want to find the number of weeks, <u>therefore</u>:

Total amount saved = amount saved per week * number of weeks

45 = 4.5 * number of weeks

number of weeks = \frac{45}{4.5} = 10 weeks

Hope this helps :)

10 weeks is the number of weeks they have been saving their money.

Duane = $5 every two weeks
Mick = $2 every week.

Get the value of Duane's weekly contribution = $5 / 2 = $2.5

Duane's share + Mick's share = $45
$2.5x  + $2.0x = $45   ===>> equation can also be x(2.5 + 2) = 45
$4.5x = $45
$4.5x / $4.5 = $45 / $4.5
x = 10 weeks.

To check:

$2.5(10) + $2(10) = $45
$25 + $20 = $45
<span>$45 = $45</span>

What is the measure of angle x? m&lt;x = ?
Ainat [17]
Hey there! :)

The total measure for triangles is 180°

You already know 2 angles. Add both angles and subtract from 180 to find x

37 + 82 = 119

180 - 119 = 61

m∠x = 61°

Hope this helps :)

Sixty-three less than 15 times a number is 72. what is the number?
exis [7]

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First represent this with numbers. Less means subtraction -, times means multiplication *, is means equals =.

And let's represent "a number" with x.

63 - 15x = 72

Solve for x. First subtract 63 from both sides.

-15x = 72-63

-15x = 9

x = -9/15 = <u>-3/5</u>
