You invest a total of $5800 in two investments earning 3.5% and 5.5% simple interest. Your goal is to have a total annual intere

st income of $283. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation where x represents the amount invested in the 3.5% fund and y represents the amount invested in the 5.5% fund. Solve this system to determine the smallest amount that you can invest at 5.5% in order to meet your objective.

The annual interest that can be earned through investment of an amount at a simple interest can be calculated through the equation,
                I  = P x (i)
where I is interest, P is the principal amount, and i is the decimal equivalent of the interest. 

Let x be the amount deposited with 3.5% interest. With this representation, the amount deposited with 5.5% is 5800 - x. 

The linear equation that would represent the given scenario is,
        x(0.035) + (5800 - x)(0.055) = 283

Simplifying the equation,
 
       0.035x + 319 - 0.055x = 283

Combining like terms,
           -0.02x = -36
Dividing by -0.02,   
               x = 1800
             $5800 - x = $5800 - $1800 = y
                   y = $4000

Hence, the value that should be deposited to the 5.5% is $40000.

Start by finding the pattern. To get from 72 to 61, you are subtracting 11. To get from 61 to 50, you are subtracting 11.

Therefore, start with the final number 28. Subtract 11 from this and you get 17. Subtract 11 from 17 and you get 6.

Therefore, the next two terms are

17, 6

Hope this helps!!
