We invested $7000 invested in two accounts, we don't know how much exactly is in each account, therefore we will assign variables to these amounts. The amount invested in the "8%" account is "x", while the other one is "y". The sum of these two numbers must be equal to $7000, therefore:

x+y=7000

The sum of interest of each account should be equal to 580, therefore:

0.08\cdot x+0.12\cdot y=580

We need to solve the system in order to determine the values.

\begin{gathered} \begin{cases}x+y=7000 \\ 0.08x+0.12y=580\end{cases} \\ \begin{cases}-0.12x-0.12y=-840 \\ 0.08x+0.12y=580\end{cases} \\ -0.04x=-260 \\ x=\frac{-260}{-0.04}=6500 \\  \end{gathered}

Now we can replace the value of "x" in the first equation to determine the value of "y".

\begin{gathered} 6500+y=7000 \\ y=7000-6500 \\ y=500 \end{gathered}

The values are 6500 in the 8% account and 500 in the 12% account.

Find the circumference of the circle iready area and circumference of a circle level g quiz
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Formula for circumference of a circle;

C = 2πr

To find the radius, we must find half(1/2) of the diameter.

Since we are given 6, we would find 1/2 of 6 which is <u>3</u>.

Now let's plug in these values into the formula:

C = 2πr

C = 2 x 3.14 x 3

C = 18.84 feet
