Let Cody be x years old now. and y be Evan's age now.

x = 2y

x -7 + y - 7 = 10

x + y = 24
Substitute for x = 2y:-

2y + y = 24

y = 8

and therefore
x = 2*8 = 16

Answer is Cody is now 16 and Evan is 8

If £2000 is placed into a bank account that pays 3% compound interest per year, how much will be in the account after 2years?

AVprozaik [17]

3% = 3/100 = 0,03

When it's compount interest it's 1,03 because you gain 3% more from what you already have.

All you need to do
1,03•2000=2060$ for the first year

And then for the second year, you take the actual amount after one year of 3%

1,03•2060=2121,8

After two years, there will be 2121,8$

kherson [118]

I can’t answer anything from my side so I will guide you the best I can! Measure the highlighted lines on the image. Then record the numbers into the correct areas(length,width,height). Then multiply all of the numbers above. That’s how you answer question 3. I’m sorry that I can’t do much more on my side.
