Phyllis invested $10,500 a portion earning a simple interest rate of 9(1/5)% per year and the rest earning a rate of 9% per year
Alenkinab [10]
Total investment  = $10,500

Let x = amount of first investment, and y the amount of the second investment.

First investment:
Interest rate = 9 (1/5)% = 0.092
Earned interest = 0.092x

Second investment:
Interest rate = 9% = 0.09
Earned interest = 0.09y

Total interest after one year is $957.00, therefore
0.092x + 0.09y = 957       
 or
1.0222x + y = 10633.33   (1)

Also,
x + y = 10500               (2)

Subtract (2) from (1).
0.0222x = 133.33
x = 6000
y = 10500 - x = 4500

Answer:
The first investment is $6,000 at 9 (1/5)% rate;
The second investment is $4,500 at 9% rate.

F(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = 24 – X.<br><br> Solve the equation f(x) = g(14).
Cloud [144]

Answer:

x = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x + 3

g(x) = 24 – x

-> g(14) = 24 - 14

-> g(14) = 10

f(x) = g(14) (Given)

-> 2x + 3 = 10

-> 2x = 10 - 3

-> 2x = 7

-> x = 7/2

-> x = 3.5

Please Help!!!! ASAP!! I will mark Brainliest!!! Please awnser CORRECTLY!! No guessing.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

f(5) means we must plug in 5 wherever we see an x in the function.

f(x) = \frac{1}{9} 3^{x}

f(5) = \frac{1}{9} 3^{5}

f(5) = \frac{1}{9} * 243

f(5) = \frac{243}{9} = 27

<u>So f(5) = 27! The answer is C.</u>
