Hello you answer will be...... -x+4
let me know if I’m right
mark must leave it for 5.5 months or 5 and half moths to gain 5600 in interest .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , mark invests 8000 in an account that pays 12% interest and 2000 in one that pays 8%. if he leaves the money in the accounts for the same length of time, We need to find how long must he leave it to gain 5600 in interest . Let's find out:
Let mark invests 8000 in an account that pays 12% interest and 2000 in one that pays 8% for time x months , So total interest gain is 5600 i.e.
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Therefore , mark must leave it for 5.5 months or 5 and half moths to gain 5600 in interest .
The solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given system of equations are:
-1x + 2y = -4 -------- eqn 1
4x + 3y = 5 ------- eqn 2
We can solve the above system of equations by elimination method
<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 4</u></em>
4(-1x + 2y = -4)
-4x + 8y = -16 ------ eqn 3
<em><u>Add eqn 2 and eqn 3</u></em>
4x + 3y = 5
-4x + 8y = -16
( + ) --------------------
0x + 11y = -16 + 5
11y = -11
y = -1
<em><u>Substitute y = -1 in eqn 1</u></em>
-1x + 2(-1) = -4
-x -2 = -4
-x = -4 + 2
-x = -2
x = 2
<em><u>Check the answer:</u></em>
Substitute x = 2 and y = -1 in eqn 2
4x + 3y = 5
4(2) + 3(-1) = 5
8 - 3 = 5
5 = 5
Thus the obtained answer is correct
Thus the solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)
B. miles because its a longer distance with leads to a smaller number
