Answer:

$2500 at 8%.

$2900 st 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested at rate of 8% and y be the amount invested at the rate of 5%.

We have been given that Heather has divided ​$5400 between two​ investments. We can represent this information as:

x+y=5400...(1)

The return on her investment is ​$345.  

Earnings from the investment at 8% will be 8% of x.

Earnings from the investment at 5% will be 5% of y.

(\frac{8}{100})x+(\frac{5}{100})y=345...(2)

0.08x+0.05y=345...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve our system of equations. From equation (1) we will get,

x=5400-y

Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

0.08(5400-y)+0.05y=345

432-0.08y+0.05y=345

-0.08y+0.05y=345-432

-0.03y=-87

\frac{-0.03y}{-0.03}=\frac{-87}{-0.03}

y=2900  

Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2900 at 5%.

Let us substitute y=2900 in equation (1) to solve for x.

x+2900=5400

x+2900-2900=5400-2900

x=2500

Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2500 at 8%.

Translate the product of a number and 4 increased by 1 is -3 into a equation
laiz [17]
4x + 1 = -3

"The product" is the term used to describe the answer of a multiplication equation.
"increased by" means you're adding.
"a number" refers to a variable.

If f(x)= 5x, what is f^-1(x)?
Helen [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

f( x) {}^{ - 1}  \\ f(x) = 5x \\ y = 5x \\ x = 5y \\ y =  \frac{x}{5}  \\ f(x) {}^{ - 1}  =  \frac{x}{5}

To swap a figure to 90 degrees counter clock wise turn the points from

(x,y) to (-y,x)

Let’s get your points

(-2,3) ; (-4,2) ; (-2,-4)

Swap the values and make the new x’s negotiate

(-3,-2) ; (-2,-4) ; (4,-2)

These should be the points of the new figure with is 90 degrees counterclockwise of the first one.

10.

To find x you can either:

Add 93 and 54
Or
Find the missing value of the triangle and subtract it from 180. Let’s do both

x = 93 + 54
x = 147

Or

180 - 93 - 54
33
180 - 33 = 147

x = 147

8.

First we dilate the coordinates by 0.5

(-4,6) ; (2,6) ; (2,-4) ; (-4,-4)

Basically divide each x and by by two

(-2,3) ; (1,3) ; (1,-2) ; (-2,-2)

Two units left would be to subtract two from the x values

(-4,3) ; (-1,3) ; (-1,-2) ; (-4, -2)

Add three to each y value

New coordinates:

(-4,6) (-1,6) (-1,1) (-4,1)

6.

Since these are the same circle, then we need to multiply the radius by 2 and then make the newly formed diameters equal to each other

2(6x) = 10x + 8

Multiply

12x = 10x + 8

Get x on one side

2x = 8

Divide

x = 4

Plug in 4 for an equation

2(6(4))

48

Circumference = pi * diameter

Unsure if you use 3.14 for pi

If you use 3.14 :

(3.14) (48) = 150.72

If you use pi :

Pi (48) (rounded) = 150.80
