Let's say the quantities are "a" and "b"
so... whatever "a" and "b" are, they add up to 9,500, thus

a + b = 9,500

now, "a" was invested at 12%, or 12/100
it yielded some amount, actually 12% of a, or 12/100 * a or 0.12a

the "b" amount was invested at 9%, or 9/100
it yielded 9% of b, or 9/100 * b or 0.09b

whatever 0.12a is, and 0.09b is, their sum or total yield was 1032
thus
0.12a + 0.09b = 1032

thus     \bf \begin{cases}
a+b=9,500\implies \boxed{b}=9,500-a\\\\
0.12a+0.09b=1032\\
--------------\\
0.12a+0.09(\boxed{9,500-a})=1032
\end{cases}

solve for "a" to see how much was invested at 12%

what about "b"? well, b = 9500 - a

PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ HELP
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The first box in the girl row is 18, the second one in the boy row is 8, and the bottom one is also 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get 81 to 9, you have to divide by 9, which means you have to do the same to 72. You get the ration 9 to 8, 9 being girls and 8 being guys. Then to get from 8 guys to 16, you have to multiply by 2, which means you do the same to 9 and get the answer of 18 girls. Hope this helps :)

2<br> — x = 6<br> 3<br><br> Any help? Please?
Mama L [17]
X = 9
you multiply both sides by 3 because you have to get rid of it and what you do to one side you do to the other then you divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable. i hope that makes sense.
