The equation of the first line can be written in point-slope form as
.. y = 3(x +1) -8
or
.. 3x -y = 5

The equation of the second line can be written in 2-point form as
.. y = (-1-3)/(10-(-6))*(x +6) +3
.. y = (-1/4)(x +6) +3
or
.. x +4y = 6

A graph shows the solution to this system is (x, y) = (2, 1).

_____
The second equation can be used to write an expression for x:
.. x = 6 -4y
This can be substituted into the first equation.
.. 3(6 -4y) -y = 5
.. 18 -13y = 5 . . . . . . . collect terms
.. 13 = 13y . . . . . . . . . add 13y-5
.. 1 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 13
From the above equation for x
.. x = 6 -4*1 = 2

Cody has $700 in a savings account that pays 4% simple interest. How much will he have in 1 year?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

$ 728

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Money Cody has = $700

Simple Interest = 4%

As it is know that interest is always given on annually basis so

Amount of profit he have in one year = Money he have right now * interest

                                                              =700 * 4%

                                                              =700 * \frac{4}{100}

                                                               = $ 28

After one year he will have = total money at that time + Profit

                                              = 700 + 28

                                              = $ 728
