Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the base is 7 units and the height is 3 units
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
I also suggest using an app called photomath. It takes you through the steps of solving the equations and gives you the answer as well.
