Answer:

The money invested in the account of gain was x = $ 9,000

The money invested in the account of loss was y = $ 8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Monica invested a total T = $ 17,000 in two of her accounts.

- Take the money invested in account A today = x

- Take the money invested in account B today = y

- The total money invested today is:

                      x + y = 17,000   ... Eq1

- After one year, the amount in each categorized by the following statement:

    " The first account earned a rate of return of 14% (after a year) "

- The amount in account A after a year would be = ( 1 + gain/100 )*x

                                                                                 = ( 1 + 14/100)*x

                                                                                 = ( 1 + 0.14 )*x

                                                                                 = 1.14x

The account B:

    " the second account suffered a 9% loss in the same time period "

- The amount in account B after a year would be = ( 1 - loss/100 )*y

                                                                                 = ( 1 - 9/100)*y

                                                                                 = ( 1 - 0.09 )*y

                                                                                 = 0.91*y

- The total amount of money in two accounts after one year would be:

                Total money after a year = 1.14x + 0.91*y

- Given that the gain in one year was G = $540

               G = Total money after one year - Total invested

               540 =  [ 1.14x + 0.91*y ] - 17,000

               17,540 =  1.14x + 0.91*y   .... Eq 2

- Solve the two equations Eq1 and Eq2 simultaneously:

                x + y = 17,000

               1.14x + 0.91*y = 17,540

====================================

             x = $ 9,000 , y = $ 8,000

====================================

- The money invested in the account of gain was x = $ 9,000

- The money invested in the account of loss was y = $ 8,000

What is the equation of a horizontal line that has a y-intercept of 3.5?
beks73 [17]
First, recall that the equation of a line is

y = mx+b

where 

m = slope
b = y-int

The key to this question is the details :

Horizontal line ---> This tells you that your slope is 0

y-int = 3.5 -----> In the equation above, b=3.5

Therefore,

y = 0x + 3.5
y = 0 + 3.5
y = 3.5

Subtract the rational expression 1/x^2-x-6 - x/x+2.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - x -6 = x²  + 2x - 3x - 3*2

            =x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2)

            = (x + 2 )(x - 3)

\frac{1}{x^{2}-x-6}+\frac{x}{x+2}=\frac{1}{(x +2 )(x - 3)}-\frac{x}{x + 2}\\

                      = \frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}-\frac{x(x-3)}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\=\frac{1-x(x-3)}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\=\frac{1-x^{2}+3x}{(x+2)(x-3)}\\\\
