Duane adds $5 to the piggy bank every other week.
Mick adds $2 to the piggy bank every week.

Duane adds $2.50 to the piggy bank every week.
Mick adds $2 to the piggy bank every week.

Every week, Duane and Mick put in a total of $4.50.

In x weeks, they have saved $45.00

In one week, they have saved $4.50
In x week, they have saved $45.00

We can make a proportion and solve it.

\frac{1}{4.5} = \frac{x}{45}

After cross multiplying we get

4.5x = 45

Solving for 'x' we get:

x = 10

Mick and Duane have been saving their money for 10 weeks

The have been saving for 10 weeks.

Given:
Duane = $5 every other week. meaning every 2 weeks
Mick = $2 every week
Amount Saved = $45

First, divide Duane's $5 by 2 to get his weekly contribution.
$5/2 = $2.50

let x be the number of weeks.

Duane + Mick = $45
2.50x + 2x = 45
4.50x = 45
4.50x/4.50 = 45/4.50
x = 10 weeks

to check:
2.50x + 2x = 45
2.50(10) + 2(10) = 45
25 + 20 = 45
45 = 45

Using sin law;

sin A/ a = sinB/ b

where A = C or 90 degrees; a = 21
B = ? , b = 8

solving for b;
sin(90) / 21 = sin(B) / 8 ; B = 22.39 degrees

Total angle of triangle = 180

180 - 90 - 22.39 = x
x = 67.607 degrees

If the angles is 180 and there is 3 parts (3x+94) and (x+36) and (2x-4) what is x
DiKsa [7]
Hehe, I thought I'd get this one wrong, but x=10. Remember, that a straight angle must add up to 180 degrees. So I added all the angles; (3x+94)+(x+36)+(2x-4)=180. I took away the parentheses having 3x+94+x+36+2x-4=180. Remember from Algebra 1, to simplify terms, we add the polynomials. 94+36-4=126. 3x+x+2x= 6x. Our simplified equation is 120+6x=180. Now we can answer. 180-120=60. 60=6x. So therefore, for all x, x equals 10.
