She invested "a" at 5% and "b" at 6%.

now, we know whatever amounts "a" and "b" are, they add up to 8000, thus a + b = 8000.

how much is 5% of a? well, (5/100) * a, or 0.05a.
how much is 6% of b? well, (6/100) * b, or 0.06b.

After a year, their combined interest, their yield, was 455, thus, we also know that 0.05a + 0.06b = 455.

\bf \begin{cases}
a+b=8000\implies \boxed{b}=8000-a\\
0.05a+0.06b=455\\
----------\\
0.05a+0.06\left( \boxed{8000-a} \right)=455
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.05a-0.06a+480=455\implies -0.01a=-25\implies a=\cfrac{-25}{-0.01}
\\\\\\
\boxed{a=2500}

how much was invested at 6%?  well, b = 8000 - a.

-3y + 8x = 36<br> 6x + y = -21
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x=−27/26

and y=−192/13

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+y=−21;8x−3y=36

Step: Solve6x+y=−21for y:

6x+y=−21

6x+y+−6x=−21+−6x(Add -6x to both sides)

y=−6x−21

Step: Substitute−6x−21foryin8x−3y=36:

8x−3y=36

8x−3(−6x−21)=36

26x+63=36(Simplify both sides of the equation)

26x+63+−63=36+−63(Add -63 to both sides)

26x=−27

26x

26

=

−27

26

(Divide both sides by 26)

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT, IF WRONG NO BRAINLIEST Which statement accurately explains whether a reflection over the x-axis
Paladinen [302]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  No, A″C″B″ is located at A″(1, 1), C″(4, 3), and B″(1, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Line AB is horizontal, so reflection across the x-axis maps it to a horizontal line. Then rotation CCW by 90° maps it to a vertical line. The composition of transformations cannot map the figure to itself.

A reasonable explanation is the last one:

  No, A″C″B″ is located at A″(1, 1), C″(4, 3), and B″(1, 5)
