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

If f(x)=5x-2 and g(x)=2x+1, find (f+g)(x)<br> A.7x-3 <br> B.3x-1 <br> C.7x-1 <br> D.4x-3
Gwar [14]

Answer:

(f+g)(x) = 7x -1  (Answer C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite these two functions, one above the other, for ease in adding:

f(x) = 5x - 2

+g(x) =2x + 1

------------------

(f+g)(x) = 7x -1
