Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vectors based on the number line as RS = 7y +3, ST = 5y +8, and RT = 83, the equation RS+ST = RT will be used to get the unknown.

Substituting the given equation into the expression we will have;

7y +3+5y +8 = 83

collect like terms'

7y+5y+3+8 = 83

12y + 11 = 83

12y = 83-11

12y = 72

y = 72/12

y = 6

b) Substitute y = 6 into RS and ST

Given RS = 7y+3

RS = 7(6)+3

RS = 42+3

RS = 45

For ST;

ST = 5y+8

ST = 5(6)+8

ST = 30+8

ST = 38

what was the original principal for an 8% simple interest bank account that holds $4340 after 3 years?

strojnjashka [21]

The principal amount is $\$3500$

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given that, simple interest $8\%$ ; $\$4340$ after 3 years

We have to find the principal.

Now, let the principal amount be p.

Then, $\text { Simple Interest }=\frac{p \times 8 \times 3}{100}=\frac{p \times 24}{100}$

Now, we know that, Balance = Principal amount + Simple Interest

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow \$ 4340=p+\frac{24 p}{100}} \\\\ {\rightarrow 4340=p\left(1+\frac{24}{100}\right)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 4340=p \times \frac{100+124}{100}} \\\\ {\rightarrow p=4340 \times \frac{100}{124}} \\\\ {\rightarrow p=35 \times 100} \\\\ {\rightarrow p=3500}\end{array}$
