For the P=-4
what you do is subtracting 6 to the 38 you will have -8p=32 then you will divide-8 to both sides and your answer will be p=-4
check 6-8(-4)=38
6+32=38
38=38
i got K=5.6
what you do is add 13 to the 15 and you will have 28=5k then you will divide 5 to both sides and you will have k=5.6
check 15=5(5.6)-13
15=28-13
15=15
You have to divide 140,000 by 7 to get the base number of 20,000. You then multiply it by 2 and 5 for each respective person. Joe invested 40,000 and Matt invested 100,000.
