Assuming they start saving at 0 dollars
45=total=duanesavings+micksavings
duanesavings=confusing, I will explain
mick savings =amount saves per week times number of weeks
duane saves 5 dollars every other week, aka 2.5 dollars per 1 week
DS=2.5w
MS=2w
since they save at same time and at that week, when the weeks are equal (w=w), 45 it total
DS+MS=45
2.5w+2w=45
4.5w=45
divide by 4.5 both sides
w=10
10 weeks
Answer:
-2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If you would like to solve the equation - 2/5 * x + 6 = 8, you can do this using the following steps:
- 2/5 * x + 6 = 8
- 2/5 * x = 8 - 6
- 2/5 * x = 2 /*(-5/2)
x = 2 * (- 5/2)
x = - 5
The correct result would be -5.
