Option B:
is the value of y
Explanation:
It is given that "Two times x is 8 more than y". Writing it as expression, we have,

It is also given that "The sum of x and two times y is 14". Writing it as expression, we have,

To find the value of y, let us solve the two equations using substitution method.
From the equation
, let us find the value of x.



Now, substituting
in the equation
, we get,





Thus, the value of y is 
Number 21 is the first answer a.) 8
• P is the principal amount, $3000.00.
• r is the interest rate, 6% per year, or in decimal form, 6/100=0.06.
• t is the time involved, 8 years time periods.
• So, t is 8 year time periods.
To find the simple interest, we multiply 3000 × 0.06 × 8 to get that:
The interest is: $1440.00
