Answer:
<h2>x = -2, y = 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
given the system of equations y=1/2x+2 and y=-2x+-3, since the 2 equations are functions of y, we will equate both equations together and calculate the value of x as shown
1/2x+2 = -2x-3
x/2+2x = -3-2
5x/2 = -5
5x = -10
x = -10/5
x = -2
Substituting x = -2 into any of the equation to get the value of y we have;
y = -2(-2)-3
y = 4-3
y = 1
The solution to the system of equation (x, y) = (-2, 1)
3/5 equals to 0.6 so it's less than 4.9
The <u> nominal return </u>on an investment doesn't consider the effect of inflation on purchasing power. If the inflation rate is positive, then the real return will be <u> less than </u> the nominal return on an investment.
Positive inflation eats away at the value of the dollar. For instance, an item worth $100 one year could be worth $105 the next year if inflation was 5%. Therefore, you've lost 5 dollars worth of purchasing power (since you need 5 extra dollars to get the same item).
The formula is
real return = nominal return - inflation
If inflation is positive, then the real return is smaller than the nominal return.
If inflation is negative (ie we have deflation), then the real return is larger than the nominal return.
