6 months

Step-by-step explanation: you take the initial membership fee of $49.50 and add it to the monthly for the first fee so it would be $67 and subtract that from the $172 he has. then divide the left over which is 105 and 17.50 you get 6

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
