Jerry is saving money for a job. after the first 3 weeks he saved $135. assuming the situation is proportional. use the unit rae to write an equation rearing the amount saved s to the number of weeks w worked. at this rate how much will jeremiah have after 8 weeks?

The equation would be s = 45w and she would have 360 in 8 weeks.

In order to find this, we first have to find the per week amount. To find this, we divide the amount by the number of weeks.

135/3 = 45

Now that we have this we can multiply that by the variable and set equal to the total amount.

s = 45w

Now to find the amount in 8 weeks, simply plug in the 8 to w.

s = 45w

s = 45(8)

s = 360

1. minimum

2. 6400

3. eight

hope this !

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
