Solve the simultaneous equations

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 5

5x - 2y = -16

In order to find the value of a variable, we must eliminate the other variable by multiplying the equations to get the same coefficient.

We can multiply the first equation by 5 and the second one by 2 to get the same coefficient for x, the equations then become:

10x + 15y = 25

10x - 4y = -32

Now we can subtract:

19y = 57

y = 3

Since we know the value of y, we can substitute it into one of the original equations:

2x + 3(3) = 5

2x + 9 = 5

2x = -4

x = -2

Bill deposits $3,000 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 3% per year. How much interest will he be paid in th
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The interest he will be paid in the first 4 years is $360

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the simple interest is I = Prt, where

  • P is the initial deposit
  • r is the rate in decimal
  • t is the time

∵ Bill deposits $3,000 into an account

∴ P = 3000

∵ The account pays simple interest at a rate of 3% per year

∴ r = 3% = 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03

∵ The time is 4 years

∴ t = 4

→ Substitute these values in the rule above

∵ I = 3000(0.03)(4)

∴ I = 360 dollars

∴ The interest he will be paid in the first 4 years is $360
