> multiply the second equation by 2 and add it to the first equation.
2(-6x - 7y = -10)
-12x -14y = -20
8x + 14y = 4
-12x - 14y = -20
--------------------
- 4x + 0 = - 16
x = -16/-4
x = 4
> use x = 4 in either equation to find y
8(4) + 14y = 4
32 + 14y = 4
14y = 4 - 32
14y = -28
y = -28/14
y = -2
Answer:
$8,029.91
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use the exponential growth equation:
A=P(1+r)^t
Where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate of increase, and t is the time in years. So:
A=6,600(1+0.04)^5
(The rate has to be changed into a decimal)
Then, just plug this equation into a calculator (without the A= part, so just 6,600(1+0.04)^5) and you'll get the answer.
