let "one number" = x, and "another" = y

x = 4y + 4

(x + y) - 4 = 28

Plug in 4y + 4 for x

4y + 4 + y - 4 = 28

Simplify. Combine like terms

5y = 28

Isolate the y. Divide 5 from both sides

y = 28/5

y =  5.6

Plug in 28/5 for y.

x = 4y + 4

x = 4(28/5) + 4

Simplify

x = 22.4 + 4

x = 26.4

x = 26.4, y = 5.6

hope this helps

Use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. â€"2. 1x 4y = 5. 3 2. 1x â€" 5. 5y = â€"0. 2 What is the sol
RoseWind [281]

The solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)

Given the systems of equations expressed as:

-x + 4y = 5 ....................1

x - 5y = -2 ...................... 2

Add both equations to have:

-x+x + 4y - 5y = 5 - 2

4y-5y = -3

-y = -3

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into equation 1:

-x + 4(3) = 5

-x + 12 = 5

-x = 5 - 12

-x = -7

x = 7

Hence the solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)

An investment of $7,650 at the rate of 5% and is compounded quarterly. What is the investment at the end of 9 years?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

FV = P(1 + r/t)^nt; where P is the initial investment, r is the rate, t is the number of accumulation in a year, n is the number of years.

FV = 7650(1 + 0.05/4)^(9 x 4) = 7650(1 + 0.0125)^36 = 7650(1.0125)^36 = 7650(1.564) = $11,964.17
