Hi!

<h3>Writing the equation</h3>
  • one number is 36 less

x - 36

  • than another number

x - 36 = y

  • if the sum of the numbers is 104

<u>x + y = 104</u>

  • find the two numbers.

---------------------------------------------------------

<h3>Solving for x</h3>
  • Put the value of y in the second equation.

x + x - 36 = 104

  • Simplify

2x - 36 = 104

  • Add 36 to both sides

2x - 36 + 36 = 104 + 36

2x = 140

  • Divide by 2 on both sides

2x/2 = 140/2

<u>x = 70</u>

-------------------------------------------------

<h3>Solving for y</h3>

70 + y = 104

70 - 70 + y = 104 - 70

<u>y = 34</u>

-------------------------------------------------

<h2>The two numbers are 70 and 34</h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Kristen just deposited $6,500 into a new bank account that pays 4.5% interest the first year and 3% compounded annually each yea
vladimir2022 [97]

This question is about compound interest, but since the interest is such a small number you can use what you know about simple interest to eliminate some answers.

You can immediately eliminate choice A as a clunker, since it is less than the original amount in the account.

Consider what the amount of interest would be if you make the rate much larger than the original rate, say 10%, or 0.1:

$6,500 × 0.1 = $650

If this amount were added to the original amount each year for two years, the total would be:

$6,500 + $650 + $650 = $6,500 + $1,300 = $7,800

This is an over-estimate for the information given, and since choices C and D are even greater than this over-estimate, they can be eliminated. That means choice B is the correct answer.
