$x-\ money\ that\ each\ of\ them \ had\ previously\\\\
4(x-58)=x-37\\\\
4x-232=x-37\ \ \ | subtract\ x\\\\
3x-232=-37\ \ \ | add\ 232\\\\
3x=195\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\\\
x=65\\\\
Each\ of\ them\ had\ 65\$\ at\ the\ beginning.$

An amount of 25,000 is borrow for 15 years at 5.5% interest, compounded annually. If the loan is paid in full at the end of that

Airida [17]

Answer: $55,811.91$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principal amount is 25,000

Time Period is $t=15\ yr$

Rate of interest $r=5.5\%$

Amount in compound interest is given by

$\Rightarrow A=P\left(1+r\%\right)^t$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow A=25,000(1+\dfrac{5.5}{100})^{15}\\\\\Rightarrow A=25,000(1.055)^{15}\\\Rightarrow A=55,811.91$

Therefore, $55,811.91$ must be paid back

Maurinko [17]

Answer: x³+y³=180

Step-by-step explain: let's remember the formula x³+y³=(x+y)(x²-xy+y²) and also x³+y³=(x+y)³-3xy(x+y) then $\displaystyle\boldsymbol{ x^3+y^3=\underbrace{(x+y)^3}_{6}-3\underbrace{xy}_{2}\underbrace{(x+y)}_6}=\\\\6^3-3\cdot 2\cdot 6=216-36=180$

Solve the following quadratic-linear system of equations. y=x^2-x-6 and y=2x-2

Keith_Richards [23]

You can do substitution 2x-2=x^2 -x -6; isolate all terms on one side 0= x^2 -x-2x -6+2; combine like terms x^2 -3x -4=0; factor the quadratic (x-4)(x+1)=0; each term is zero x-4=0 so x=4 and x+1=0 so x=-1. Now, y=2•4-2=6 and y=2•(-1) -2= -4 ; solutions for the system are ( 4,6) and ( -1, -4)
