A because y is larger than x by 2.

x + y = 44
y = x + 2

Substitute eqn 2 into eqn 1
x + x + 2 = 44
2x = 42
x = 21

Thus, the smaller number is 21.

Kenneth has 2,000$ to invest
Katarina [22]

The calculations for 2, 4, 8 year can be derived as follows,

For simple interest:

                   S.I = \frac{P*T*R}{100}

P= principle

T= Time

R= Rate

For 2 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*2*5.6}{100}=  $224

           Amount = $2224

For 4 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*4*5.6}{100}= $448

           Amount = $2448

For 8 year;

             S.I = \frac{2000*8*5.6}{100}= $896

           Amount = $2896
