Answer: 7000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested in 8% account be P1 and the amount invested in 6% account be P2

. If the total amount invested is $20,000 then:

P1+P2=20,000. (Eq. 1)

The interest earned in one year from the 8% account is:

I1=0.08P1

and the interest earned in one year from the 6% account is:

I2=0.06P2

If the total interest earned is $1460, then:

I1+I2=1460

0.08P1+0.06P2=1460

(Eq. 2) From Eq. 1 :

P1=20000−P2

Substituting this into Eq. 2:

0.08 (20000−P2) + 0.06P2 = 1460

1600 − 0.08P2 + 0.06P2 = 1460

0.02P2 = 140

P2 = 140 / 0.02

P2 = 7000

Hence, he invested $7000 at the rate of 6%.

Solve 20 - x/3 = x/2 , put the number only in the box.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

<h2>x = 24</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

20 -  \frac{x}{3}  =  \frac{x}{2}

Multiply through by the LCM that's 6 in order to eliminate the fraction

That's

6 \times 20 - 6 \times  \frac{x}{3}  = 6 \times  \frac{x}{2}  \\ 120 - 2x = 3x

Using the addition property add 2x to both sides of the equation

That's

3x + 2x = 120 + 2x - 2x \\ 5x = 120

<u>Divide both sides by 5</u>

\frac{5x}{5}  =  \frac{120}{5}

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 24</h3>

Hope this helps you
