PLS HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST 1. Patrick is saving money to buy a video game that costs $68.

Part A. Patrick receives $6 every week for doing chores at home. Patrick spends $2.00 every week and saves the rest.
How many full weeks will it take Patrick to save enough money to purchase the video game? Show your work and justify your answer.

Part B. Patrick can earn extra money by cutting grass. His neighbors will pay him $4.00 for each lawn that takes him 30 minutes. What is the amount of time, in extra HOURS, that Patrick would have to spend cutting grass to be able to buy a second $68 video game for his friend? Show your work to justify your answer.

Part A - 17 full weeks

Part B - 8 hours and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Rate of change, Equation Creating & Solving

PART A

1) We need to make an equation for the amount of money Patrick saves each week. He earns $6.00 and then spends $2.00

Since he saves the rest, the amount of money he saves each week is

---> $6.00 - $2.00 = $6 - $2 = $4

2) Since Patrick saves $4 a week, let's say that the number of weeks is ""

Since the game costs $68 we can make the equation

-->

4 is the money he saves each week.

w is the number of weeks he saves

68 is the cost of the game

3) Divide by 4 on both sides and you will get -->

(68 divided by 4 is equal to 17)

Therefore 17 full weeks is your answer.

Part B

1) Patrick earns 4 dollars for each lawn mowed. Each lawn takes 30 minutes to mow.

30 minutes is half an hour ---> This means that for each hour he would be making $8 (since $4 x 2 = $8)

2)  So if we say the number of hours is "", the equation we can make is

--->

8 is the money he makes per hour

h is the number of hours he mows the lawns

68 is the cost of the game he wants to buy for his friend

3) Divide both sides by 8 and you will get

-->

(68 divided by 8 is 8.5 (8 and a half))

This means that he needs to mow lawns for 8.5 hours in order to buy the video game for his friend.

8.5 hours is the same as 8 hours and 30 minutes, which is the answer.

Hope you understand and have a nice day!! :D

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
