To answer your question, it is shown in the graph below.
y=-3x-6 is parallel to y=-3x-2
So the equations are:
y= 3x + 3
y= x- 1
By the transitive property, we know x-1= 3x+3 (Transitive property means if a= b, and b= c, shouldn't a = c if they both equal b?)
so, x- 1= 3x + 3. Now we isolate x and solve:
+1 +1
x= 3x+ 4
-x -x
0 = 2x+ 4
-4 -4
-4 = 2x
/2 /2
x= -2
Now, you can plug that back in to find y:
y = x- 1
y= -2 -1
y= -3
Then plug them both in to make sure it is correct. :o)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount at 5%
Then 2200 - x is the amount at 3%
<u>The total interest is:</u>
- 0.05x + (2200 - x)*0.03 = 78.50
- 5x + (2200 - x)*3 = 7850
- 5x + 6600 - 3x = 7850
- 2x = 7850 - 6600
- 2x = 1250
- x = 625
<u>Find the amount at 3%:</u>
