48 i know because i used a calculator
Answer: 1. X+2
2. 6x-3
3. -2x-1
4. 9x5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. X+4-3+1 There is only one variable, so you don’t need to worry about that. Just do all of the numerical operations. 4-3+1= 2. So it would be x+2
2. X-5+5x+2. Again, do the numerical operations first. -5+2=-3. X+5x=6x. So it would be 6x-3.
3. 2x+7-4x-8. 7-8=-1. 2x-4x=-2x. So it would be -2x-1.
4. (4+3)x+2x-5. Do the operation in the parenthesis first. Then it would be (7)x or just 7x+2x-5. Simplify to 9x-5.
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}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%20%2B%20b%20%3D%2020000%5Cimplies%20b%20%3D%2020000-a%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B5%5C%25%20of%20a%7D%7D%7B%5Cleft%28%20%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B100%7D%20%5Cright%29a%7D%5Cimplies%200.05a~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B2%5C%25%20of%20b%7D%7D%7B%5Cleft%28%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B100%7D%20%5Cright%29a%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bllll%7D%200.02b%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7Bsubstituting%7D%7B0.02%2820000-a%29%7D%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D)
now, we know the total of earned interest is 550 bucks, so then
