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
In order a0->a5: 1/3, 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
All you're doing is plugging the x-value in. So for a2, x=1, so y=3¹ which means y=3.
Could be wrong but try 6/3 then 2
