Answers:

2% bond: $11000

4% bond: $13000

========================================================

Explanation:

x = amount invested in the 4% bond

y = amount invested in the 2% bond

Amounts are in dollars

The two amounts add to $24,000 so

x+y = 24000

y = -x+24000 is one equation to set up

0.04x = interest earned from the 4% bond

0.02y = interest earned from the 2% bond

0.04x+0.02y = total interest earned = $700

0.04x+0.02y = 700 is another equation to set up

------------

The system of equations is

\begin{cases}y = -x+24000\\0.04x+0.02y = 700\end{cases}

Apply substitution. Solve for x.

0.04x+0.02y = 700

0.04x+0.02(-x+24000) = 700

0.04x-0.02x+480 = 700

0.02x= 700-480

0.02x= 220

x= 220/(0.02)

x = 11000

Use this to find y

y = -x+24000

y = -11000+24000

y = 13000

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = x + 8

You need to get x by Itself so subtract 8 to both sides.

5 - 8 = -3

so therefore x = - 3

A) the length on the top is 2ft. You were supposed to subtract 11ft from 9ft. The length on the bottom is 17. You get that by adding 5ft and 12ft
b) then you add up all the lengths together.
2+5+12+11+9+17= 56ft
