She deposited two amounts, let's say "a" and "b"
"a" earning 2% interest
"b" earning 2.5% interest

the 2.5% one, is twice as much as the 2% one
so.. one can say that, whatever "a" is, "b" is twice as much,
or b = 2*a -> b = 2a

now.. .the sum of both earned interest, was $1190

so.. one can say that (2% of a) + (2.5% of b) = 1190
let' us use the decimal notation then
\frac{2}{100}a+\frac{2.5}{100}b=1190\implies 0.02a+0.025b=1190
\\ \quad \\
\textit{however, we know "b" is 2a thus}
\\ \quad \\
0.02a+0.025\boxed{b}=1190\implies 0.02a+0.025(\boxed{2a})=1190

solve for "a" to find what the "a" amount is,
to find "b", well, "b" is "2a", so just do a 2*a to get "b"

What is the x <br> 0.02+0.7=0.8-0.3x
pav-90 [236]
X = 4/15 or 0.26

First add the numbers on the left side of the equation.

0.72 = 0.8 - 0.3x

Then move the variable to the left as well.

0.3x + 0.72 = 0.8

Move the constant to the right by subtracting.

0.3x = 0.8 - 0.72

Subtract the numbers

0.3x = 0.08

Divide both sides by 0.3.

And that should yield your answer.

Hope this helps. ^^
