Answer:

8,000 at 6%; 12,000 at 8%; 10,000 at 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, c represent the amounts borrowed at 6%, 8%, 10%, respectively. Then the problem statement gives rise to three equations:

... a + b + c = 30,000 . . . . . the total borrowed

... a + b - 2c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . the relationship between the quantities

... .06a +.08b + .10c = 2440 . . . . the total interest charge

_____

Subtracting the second equation from the first, it becomes

... 3c = 30,000

... c = 10,000 . . . . . divide by 3 . . . [equation 4]

Subtracting 0.06 times the first equation from the third, we have

... .02b +.04c = 640

Multiplying [equation 4] by 0.04 and subtracting from this, we get

... .02b = 240

... b = 12,000 . . . . divide by 0.02 .

Substituting for b and c into the first equation, we find ...

... a + 22000 = 30000

... a = 8000

Then the amounts are ...

  • 8000 was borrowed at 6%
  • 12000 was borrowed at 8%
  • 10000 was borrowed at 10%

_____

Most graphing calculators are capable of solving matrix problems such as this one. The attachment shows a TI-84 solution.

-3(-6u+6)-3u=5(u-2)-3
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

u=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(-6u+6)-3u=5(u-2)-3

18u-18-3u=5u-10-3

15u-18=5u-13

15u-5u-18=-13

10u-18=-13

10u=-13+18

10u=5

u=5/10

simplify

u=1/2
