To answer we let x be the amount of money that Sam invested during the first year.
Below are the expressions translated from the given word forms for the amount invested.
Sam:
2nd year : amount = 5x/2 - 2000
3rd year : amount = x/5 + 1000
The sum of money invested by Sam is:
x + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000)
Similarly, we derive the expressions that we use for the amount that Sally invested.
Sally
1st year : amount = 3x/2 - 1000
2nd year : amount = 2x - 1500
3rd year : amount = x/4 + 1400
The total amount that Sally invested is,
total = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)
Equating the two equations:
(x) + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000) = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)
Solving for x,
x = 2000
For Sally's investment in the third year:
amount = x/4 + 1400 = (2000/4 + 1400) = 1900
ANSWERS:
Sam's first year = $2000
Sally's third year = $1900
Since 0 < y < 1.5, hence the coordinate (1,1) is a solution
<h3>A solution to the system of inequality</h3>
Given the following inequality expression
y>0
y< 2.5x - 1
Wee are to check if (1, 1) is a solution to the systen of equation
If x = 1
y < 2.5(1) - 1
Y < 2.5 - 1
y < 1.5
Since 0 < y < 1.5, hence the coordinate (1,1) is a solution

How many sixths are in 1/2?
3
Step-by-step explanation:
i did it
2(2) + 12 = 4^(2)
4 + 12 = 16
16 = 16
only x = 2 will have f(x)=g(x) so x = 2 is answer
Answer:
p - w = $25 OR w + $25 = p
Step-by-step explanation:
pencil = p
pen = w
p - w = $25 OR w + $25 = p
