The answer is the second one
So assuming simplet interest
find the change to find the interest
change=186000-129000=57000
simple interest=time times rate times principal
time is in years (8)
rate is in decimal
principal is amount invested (129000)
so
interest is 57000
57000=(8)(r)(129000)
57000=1032000r
divide both sides by 1032000
0.05523255813953488372093023255814=r
or
5.523255813953488372093023255814%
rounded
5.5%
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
x > 6
Am not sure but maybe no because i learned it 2 month ago
I believe you haven't included the system of equations for us to solve.
However, I will tell you that you need to solve for one variable in an equation and substitute that into the other equation.
For example:
x = yz; z = x/y
a = zb; a = (x/y)b
Hope this helps!
