Let's say the amounts are "a" and "b"
                                      6%       4%

now... we dunno what "a" is, but nevermind, whatever that is, "b" invested at 4%, is 1600 less than that or less than "a", namely b = a - 1600

so.. "a" is the bigger amount than "b" by 1600, but no matter

what is 6% of a? well, 6/100 * a or 0.06a, that's how much it yielded
what is 4% of b? well, 4/100 * b, or 0.04b, that's much it earned in interests

we know, their yield, or total in earned interest is 156, so.. whatever those yields are, they add up to 156 or

0.06a + 0.04b = 156

now      \bf \begin{cases}
\boxed{b}=a-1600\\\\
0.06a+0.04b=156\\
----------\\
0.06a+0.04\left( \boxed{a-1600} \right)=156
\end{cases}

solve for "a", to see how much was invested at 6%

how much is "b"?  well, b = a - 1600

How to find y intercept without a graph HELP
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

You need to use the graph's equation and find the answer of y when x is 0 as this will give y when it is on the y axis.

To do this, substitute in 0 were x is in the equation and you will find the y intercept

Pls help!!! if f(x) = 3x-2 and g(x) = 6-4x, fibd f(x) + g(x)
sp2606 [1]
So first off the equation we are solving is f(x) + g(x). So i want to plug in those equations first off. The new equation I get should be 3x-2 + 6 -4x. I then simplify this to -x+4 or 4-x.

What do you think is another example of when a person would need to use credit or borrow money?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

You need money for employees, equipment, office space and much more. Borrowing money to start your practice is often a good idea. The debt is being used to fund something that will likely generate healthy returns, allowing you to safely make the debt payments.

hope this helps :)
