Answer:

18 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation where x is the number of weeks he works

60x - 220 will represent his profit, since he gets $60 a week but spent $220 in equipment.

Set this equal to 860, then solve for x, to find when he will earn $860

60x - 220 = 860

60x = 1080

x = 18

So, it will take him 18 weeks to earn $860

In parallelogram DEFG, DH = x + 3, HF = 3y, GH = 4x – 5, and HE = 2y + 3. Find the values of x and y.
marissa [1.9K]

Here, DH = HF 

x+3 = 3y

x = 3y-3   ----(I)

GH = HE

4x-5 = 2y+3

4x = 2y+8

Substitute value of x,

4(3y-3) = 2y+8

12y-12 = 2y+8

12y-2y = 12+8

10y = 20

y = 2

Now, substitute it in equation 1,

x = 3(2)-3

x = 6-3 = 3

So, your final answer is      x=3  & y=2
