(a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30.

(b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8.

Solution:

Ratio of Wayne's savings to Stef's savings = 5 : 6

Let x be the common amount they have.

After spending $28 each, the ratio becomes 1 : 4.

5x – 28 : 6x – 28 = 1 : 4

This can be written in a fraction form.

$\Rightarrow\frac{5x-28}{6x-28}=\frac{1}{4}

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 4(5x-28)}=1({6x-28})

$\Rightarrow 20x-112=6x-28

Arrange like term one side.

$\Rightarrow 20x-6x=112-28

$\Rightarrow 14x=84

⇒ x = 6

(a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 = 5x = 5(6) = $30

(b) To find stef's savings after spent $28:

Stef's savings before she spent $28 = 6x = 6(6) = $36

Stef's savings after she spent $28 = $36 – $28 = $8

Hence Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30

Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8.

a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30

b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

step 1 :

let,

Wayne's savings = 5x

Stef's savings = 6x

step 2 :

After spending $28 each of them, The ratio becomes 1/4.

⇒ (28 - 5x) / (28 - 6x) = 1/4

⇒ 4(28 - 5x) = 1 (28 - 6x)

⇒ 112 - 20x = 28 - 6x

⇒ 112 - 28 = 20x - 6x

⇒ 84 = 14 x

x = 84/4 = 6

step 3 :

a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 = 5x

substitute x=6,

Wayne's savings = 5(6) = $30

step 4 :

b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 = Total savings - $28

                                                             = 6x - 28

                                                             = 6(6) - 28

∴ Stef's savings after she spent $28  = 36 - 28 =$8

IF YOU ANSWER THIS I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST!! 21PTS
vovangra [49]
<span>200 < 225 + 80x < 550

The 200 is the amount the Jenna currently have. 
225 + 80x is the amount that Jenna has to pay given x number of hours.
550 is the sum of Jenna's 200 and additional 350 she can get by selling pre-ordered Cds. This is the maximum amount she can pay for the studio rental and sound technicians.

225 + 80x < 550
80x < 550 -225
80x < 325
80x / 80 < 325/80
x < 4.06 or 4 hours

225 + 80x </span>→ 225 + 80(4) = 225 + 320 = 545
<span>
The number of hours for the sound technician will range from 1 hour to 4 hours. 

Assuming they will use 6 hours.

225 + 80(6) = 225 + 480 = 705
705 - 550 = 155

Jenna has to raise an additional $155 to pay off the studio rent and 6 hours of sound technicians.

Two sides and an angle are given. determine whether the given information results in one triangle, no triangle, three triangles,
Crazy boy [7]
We are given 2 sides 18.7, 16.1 and a NON-included angle.
We have to calculate the altitude of the triangle.
altitude = 18.7 * sine (35)
altitude = 18.7 * 0.57358
altitude = <span> <span> <span> 10.725946 </span> </span> </span>
In this case, side c is greater than the altitude and is less than side a so 2 two triangles will be formed.
