It should be neither. There is no pattern
Given Equations :
✿ 2x + y = 20 ------------------ [1]
✿ 6x - 5y = 12 ----------------- [2]
Multiplying Equation [1] with 5, We get :
⇒ 5(2x + y) = 5(20)
⇒ 10x + 5y = 100 -------------- [3]
Adding Equations [2] and [3], We get :
⇒ (10x + 5y) + (6x - 5y) = 100 + 12
⇒ 16x = 112
⇒ x = 7
Substituting x = 7 in Equation [1], We get :
⇒ 2(7) + y = 20
⇒ 14 + y = 20
⇒ y = 20 - 14
⇒ y = 7
So, The Solution for the Given System of Equations is : (x , y) = (7 , 7)
The following formula is applicable;
A=P(1+r)^n
Where,
A = Total amount accrued after 10 years (this is the amount from which the yearly withdrawals will be made from for the 30 years after retirement)
P=Amount invested today
r= Annual compound interest for the 10 years before retirement
n= Number of years the investments will be made.
Therefore,
A= Yearly withdrawals*30 years = $25,000*30 = $750,000
r= 9% = 0.09
n= 10 years
P= A/{(1+r)^n} = 750,000/{(1+0.09)^10} = $316,808.11
Therefore, he should invest $316,808.11 today.
Step 1 distribute the 5 across (8+0.2)
6^3+5(8+0.2)
6^3+40+1
6^3+41 (<em>I simplified the +40 and the +1</em>)
Step 2 take 6 to the power of 3
6^3+41
6x6x6 6x6=36 36x6=216
216+41 (<em>Simplify!</em>)
