Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of a line:

m - slope
(x₁, y₁) - point
The formula of a slope:

We have the points (-3, 2) and (2, 1). Substitute:


The problem statement is not clear regarding which money is invested. We will assume it is the 80% of $8750 that is set aside for future education. That amount is
... 0.80 × $8750 = $7000
If x represents the amount invested at 7%, then the total interest earned is
... (7000 -x)×4% + (x)×7% = 420
... 280 +0.03x = 420
... x = 140/0.03 ≈ 4666.67
$4666.67 was invested at 7%.
$2333.33 was invested at 4%.
Answer:
it is greater than
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 5(x - 2) = 12x + 4 - x
4x - 5(x) - 5(-2) = 12 - x + 4
4x - 5x + 10 = 11x + 4
-x + 10 = 11x + 4
<u>+ x + x </u>
10 = 12x + 4
<u>- 4 - 4</u>
<u>6</u> = <u>12x</u>
12 12
0.5 = x
