K = s + 4
k + s = 26
s + 4 = 26
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
s = 22

Answer:
12 years if interest is paid yearly
12 months if interest is paid monthly
Step-by-step explanation:
2.75% of $1500 is $41.25 interest per period
$1995-$1500 = $495 total interest
$495 ÷ $41.25 = 12 periods
Therefore it takes 12 interest periods to reach $1995, so the answer is 12 months or 12 years depending on how often interest is paid.

Answer:
The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers, a and b.
We know that one number is larger than another by 9.
Then we can write:
a = b + 9
then a is larger than b by 9 units.
If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
So we got two equations:
a = b + 9
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
This is a system of equations.
One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:
But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:
a = b + 9
now we can replace that in the other equation:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41
now we can solve this for b.
9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41
(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41
19 + 4b = -41
4b = -41 -19 = -60
b = -60/4 = -15
b = -15
then:
a = b + 9
a = -15 + 9 = -6
a = -6
