Answer:

$500 and $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total investment = $2500

also, this total is split into two different funds

Lets represent these funds as a and b, such that fund a yields a profit of 3% and fund b yield a profit of 5%

So,

a + b = x

a + b =  2500   ......eq 1

Profit from each fund gives;

0.03 a + 0.05b = 115     ....eq 2

Solve simultaneously using substitution method

From eq 1;

b = 2500 - a

Slot in this value in eq 2

0.03a + 0.05 (2500 - a) = 115

expand

0.03a + 125 - 0.05a = 115

collect like terms

0.03a - 0.05a = 115 - 125

-0.02a = -10

Divide both sides by -0.02

a =  $500

Put this value of a in eq 1

500 + b =  2500

Subtract 500 from both sides

b = 2500 - 500

b = $2000

Instructions: Match each equations with correct type of event.
Mazyrski [523]

The question is incomplete. Below you will find the missing contents.

The correct match of events with order are,

  • P(A)P(B|A) - Dependent event
  • P(A)+P(B) - Mutually exclusive events
  • P(A and B)/P(A) - Conditional events
  • P(A) . P(B) - Independent Events
  • P(A)+P(B) -P(A and B) - not Mutually exclusive events.

When two events A and B are independent then,

P(A and B)=P(A).P(B)

when A and B are dependent events then,

P(A and B) = P(A) . P(B|A)

When two events A and B are mutually exclusive events then,

P(A and B)=0

So, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B)

P(A) + P(B) = P(A or B)

When events are not mutually exclusive then the general relation is,

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

If the probability of the event B conditioned by A is given by,

\mathrm{P(B|A)=\frac{P(A~and~B)}{P(A)}}

Hence the correct match are -

  • \mathrm{P(A)P(B|A)\rightarrow} Dependent event
  • \mathrm{P(A)+P(B)}\rightarrow Mutually exclusive events
  • \mathrm{\frac{P(A ~and ~B)}{P(A)}\rightarrow} Conditional events
  • \mathrm{P(A) . P(B)\rightarrow} Independent Events
  • \mathrm{P(A)+P(B) -P(A ~and ~B)\rightarrow} not Mutually exclusive events.

5у - 4х = -7 <br>2y + 4x = - 14​
Nuetrik [128]
1. Y= 5/4x -1.4
2.Y=-2/4x -7
Formula is Y=MX+B
To solve these equations you have to make the Y separate so add or subtract the x value depending on the charge remember what you do to one side you do to the other after you divide everything by the number in the Y value and for the x you put the y value on-top and make it a fraction
