Answer:

The amount invested at 6% is $12,857.14

The amount invested at 13% is $17,142.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount invested at 6%

30,000-x -----> the amount invested at 13%

we know that

The interest earned by the amount invested at 6% plus the interest earned by the amount at 13% must be equal to the interest earned by the total amount of $30,000 at 10%

Remember that

6\%=6\100=0.06

13\%=13\100=0.13

10\%=10\100=0.10

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

0.06x+(30,000-x)0.13=0.10(30,000)

solve for x

0.06x+3,900-0.13x=3,000\\0.13x-0.06x=3,900-3,000\\0.07x=900\\x=\$12,857.14$

x-\$30,000=\$17,142.86

therefore

The amount invested at 6% is $12,857.14

The amount invested at 13% is $17,142.86

If a coin has been altered so that the probability of heads coming up is 3/10, then the probability of tails coming up is also 3
Vadim26 [7]
False. Since the probability of one side of the coin is 3/10, the other must be 7/10.

Answer:

A,  c(excluding tip, if the tip is included then c is not the answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

I solved the Equations:

A)1/8(x+16)=76/8----60  (this is the correct answer!)

B)1/8(x+16=76)------ 592  (NOT the correct answer

c)x=60 Represents total food bill excluding tip

d) x=60 does represent each friends share of the food bill

Square lMNO is shown in the diagram below what are the coordinates of the midpoint of a diagonal LN
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint of LN are (-2\frac{1}{2},4\frac{1}{2})

answer (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the midpoint of a line

- The coordinates of the midpoint of a line whose endpoints are (x1 , y1)

 and (x2 , y2) are x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

∵ LMNO is a square

∵ The coordinates of point L are (-6 , 1)

∵ The coordinates of point N are (1 , 8)

- Let the coordinates of point L are (x1 , y1) , the coordinates of point

 N are (x2 , y2) and the coordinates of the midpoint of LN are (x , y)

∴ x1 = -6 , x2 = 1 and y1 = 1 , y2 = 8

- Use the rule of the midpoint above to find the midpoint (x , y)

∵ x=\frac{-6+1}{2}=\frac{-5}{2}=-2\frac{1}{2}

∵ y=\frac{1+8}{2}=\frac{9}{4}=4\frac{1}{2}

∴ The coordinates of the midpoint are (-2\frac{1}{2},4\frac{1}{2})

* The coordinates of the midpoint of LN are (-2\frac{1}{2},4\frac{1}{2})
