Answer:

The amount invested in gold bullion by Mr. Eliot  =   $50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of savings Me. Eliot ha s = $150,000

Let us assume the amount invested in gold bullion = $m

So, the amount invested in bank = $150,000 - m

Now, 5% on m = \frac{5}{100}  \times m = 0.05 m

So, the profit in gold bullion  =  0.05 m

and 3% on (150,000 -m)   = \frac{3}{100}  \times  (150,000 -m) = 0.03  (150,000 -m)

= 4,500 - 0.03 m

So, the profit in bank =  4,500 - 0.03 m

Now,  the total profit  = $5,500

⇒Profit from gold bullion + ban = $5,500

⇒0.05 m +  4,500 - 0.03 m = $5,500

or, 0.02 m = 1000

⇒ m = 1000/0.02 = 50,000

Hence, the amount invested in gold bullion  =  m = $50,000

Given: angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair,
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Look at the proof down

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is;

→ ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair

→ ∠1 ≅ ∠3

We want to prove;

→ ∠2 and ∠3 are supplementary

<em>We will write the proof in like a table</em>

1. ∠1 and ∠2 formed a linear pair  ⇒  1. Given

2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°  ⇒ 2. Sum of angles on a straight line

3. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles  ⇒  3. Supplementary angles add up to 180°

4. ∠1 ≅ ∠3  ⇒  4. Given

5. m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°  ⇒  5. Substitution method

6. ∠3 is a supplement of ∠2  ⇒  6. Supplement of equal angles

7. ∠2 and ∠3 are supplementary  ⇒  7. Proved
