a = amount invested at 5%

b = amount invested at 2%

now, we know the total invested by Mr Wilson was 20000, so whatever "a" and "b" might be, we know that a + b = 20000.

a + b = 20000\implies b = 20000-a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{5\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.05a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{2\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{2}{100} \right)a}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 0.02b\\\\ \stackrel{substituting}{0.02(20000-a)} \end{array}

now, we know the total of earned interest is 550 bucks, so then

0.05a~~ + ~~0.02(20000-a)~~ = ~~550\implies 0.05a+400-0.02a=550 \\\\\\ 0.03a+400=550\implies 0.03a=150\implies a=\cfrac{150}{0.03}\implies a=5000 \\\\\\ ~\hspace{24em}\stackrel{20000~~ - ~~5000}{b=15000}

Celine has a bottle that contains 20% of milk and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. Part A: Write an equation in
Alexxx [7]
Percentage of milk PM
Liters of milk LM
Liters of water W
Total number of liters TL
W/100*PM = LM
W+LM =TL

Proof
1 liter / 100 = 10 milliliters
10 ml * 20 = 200 milliliters
200 ml + 1000 ml = 1200 ml
1.2 liters is the total amount of liters.

Light behaves mainly like a wave but it can also be considered to consist of tiny packages of energy called photons. Photons carry a fixed amount of energy but have no mass. They also found that increasing the intensity of light increased the number of electrons ejected, but not their speed.

Some one help me on this one
aleksandrvk [35]
The answer is III only, or D. 


We can start to solve this by knowing what the HL theorem means. The HL theorem, like its name implies, shows says that if a hypotenuse and leg of a triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of a different triangle, then the triangles are congruent. The only triangle that we see a hypotenuse congruent in is in figure III. In figure II, those congruent sides are both legs while in figure I we just see 2 congruent angles. Now in figure III, we can also see that two legs are congruent because of the reflexive property. That means that the answer is III, or D.
