Answer:

The answer to your question is Amy is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Equation              2x² + 5x - 42 = 0

-Factor

 2 x 42 = 84

- Find the prime factors of 84

                                       84     2

                                       42     2

                                        21     3

                                          7     7

                                           1

84 = 2² 3 7

-Find two numbers that added gives 5

 These numbers are 12 and -7

- Express the equation using these numbers

                          2x² + 12x - 7x - 42

-Factor by common factor

                          2x(x + 6) -7(x + 6)

-Factor by grouping

                              (x + 6)(2x - 7)

-Find the roots

                        x₁ + 6 = 0            2x₂ - 7 = 0

                        x₁ = -6                 2x₂ = 7

                                                     x₂ = 7/2

Margo borrows $1300, agreeing to pay it back with 7% annual interest after 6 months. How much interest willshe pay?Round your an
MaRussiya [10]

Recall the formula for determining the interest using simple interest

\begin{gathered} I=Prt \\ \text{where} \\ P\text{ is the principal amount} \\ r\text{ is the rate in decimal form} \\ t\text{ is time} \end{gathered}

Convert the rate into decimal form by dividing by 100%

7\%\div100\%=0.07

Substitute the following values

P = $1300, r = 0.07, t = 6/12 (12 months in a year, only 6 months has passed)

\begin{gathered} I=Prt \\ I=1300\cdot0.07\cdot\frac{6}{12} \\ I=91\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ I=45.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, Margo will pay back $45.50 in interest.

x+y=7....(2)

from (2)
y=7-x....(3)

put (3) into (1)
2x-(7-x)=8
2x-7+x=8
2x+x=8+7
3x=15
x=5.....(4)

put (4) into (2)
x+y=7
