Answer: $7800 was invested at 9%
$5900 was invested at 3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 9%.
Let y represent the amount invested in the fund that paid a dividend of 3%.
Last year, the first fund paid a dividend of 9% and the second a dividend of 3%, and you received a total of $879. This means that
0.09x + 0.03y = 879- - - - - - - - - 1
This year, the first fund paid a 10% dividend and the second only 1%, and you received a total of $839. It means that
0.1x + 0.01y = 839 - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 0.1 and equation 2 by 0.09, it becomes
0.009x + 0.003y = 87.9
0.009x + 0.0009y = 75.51
Subtracting, it becomes
0.0021y = 12.39
y = 12.39/0.0021
y = 5900
Substituting y = 5900 into equation 1, it becomes
0.09x + 0.03 × 5900 = 879
0.09x + 177 = 879
0.09x = 879 - 177
0.09x = 702
x = 702/0.09
x = 7800

∠A = 24°
∠B = 87°
∠A = 24°
Explanation:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees
let measure of angle A = ∠A
∠B = 15 more than three times the measure of angle A
∠B = 15 + 3∠A
∠C = 45° more than the measure of angle A
∠C = 45° + ∠A
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠A + 15 + 3∠A + 45° + ∠A = 180
collect like terms:
∠A + 3∠A + ∠A + 15 + 45 = 180
5∠A + 60 = 180
5∠A = 180 -60
5∠A = 120
∠A = 120/5
∠A = 24°
∠B = 15 + 3∠A = 15 + 3(24)
∠B = 87°
∠C = 45° + ∠A = 45° + 24°
∠C = 69°
There is no solution. Because the absolute value function finds the distance between the number and 0. And length is never negative.
So, |-x| = -10 has no solution.
He needs 1/2 cup because 3/4-1/4=2/4 which is simplified to 1/2
