Twice one number plus a second number is 42 and the first number is 4 more than 3 times the second

Answer / Step-By-Step Explanation:

<em>"Twice one number plus a second number is 42."</em>

2x + y = 42

y = -2x + 42

<em>"The first number is 4 more than 3 times the second."</em>

x - y = -6

x - (-2x + 42) = -6

x + 2x - 42 = -6

3x = 36

First number: x = 12

Second Number: y = -2 (12) + 42 = -24 + 42 = 18

2 × 12 + 18 = 42

(24 + 18 = 42)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 130/7, y = 34/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the first number

and y = the second number

Then

                                                          (1) 2x +   y = 42

                                                          (2)          x = 3y + 4

Subtract 3y from each side of (2)    (3)  x  - 3y = 4

Multiply Equation (3) by 2                (4) 2x - 6y = 8

Subtract (4) from (1)                                       7y = 34

Divide each side by 7                      (5)         y = 34/7

Substitute (5) into (1)                         2x + 34/7 = 42

Subtract 34/7 from each side                     2x = 42 - 34/7

Simplify                                                        2x = 260/7

Divide each side by 2                                   x = 130/7

x = 130/7, y = 34/7

Check:

(1) 2(130/7) + 34/7 = 42     (2) 130/7 = 3(34/7) +  4

     260/7   + 34/7 = 42          130/7 =  102 /7  + 28/7

                  294/7 = 42          130/7 =   130/7

                       42 = 42

Calculate the future value (in dollars) of $1,550 deposited into an account earning an annual simple interest rate of 4% compoun
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: the future value is $1748.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 1550

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

n = 365 because it was compounded 365 times in a year.

t = 3 years

Therefore,.

A = 1550(1 + 0.04/365)^365 × 3

A = 1550(1+0.00011)^1095

A = 1550(1.00011)^1095

A = 1550 × 1.128

A = 1748.4
