Mathematics

Fed [463]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a can be any real number less than equal to -5

Step-by-step explanation:

When a+5 is negative,

a + 5 = -(-5 - a)

a + 5 = a + 5

All values satisfy the equation

So a < -5

When a + 5 is greater than/equal to 0,

a + 5 = -a - 5

2a = -10

a = -5

a can be any real number less than equal to -5

Could someone help me understand how to solve this?

Answer:

Amount in 4% account: $550

Step-by-step explanation:

Use simple interest formula I=P\cdot r\cdot t, where

I = interest

P = principal

r = rate (as decimal)

t = time.

<u>4% account:</u>

P_1=x\\ \\r_1=0.04\\ \\t_1=1,

then

I_1=x\cdot 0.04\cdot 1=0.04x

<u>5% account:</u>

P_2=1,500-x\\ \\r_2=0.05\\ \\t_2=1,

then

I_2=(1,500-x)\cdot 0.05\cdot 1=0.05(1,500-x)

You have earned $69.50 in total, so

I_1+I_2=69.50\\ \\0.04x+0.05(1,500-x)=69.50\\ \\4x+5(1,500-x)=6,950\\ \\4x+7,500-5x=6,950\\ \\4x-5x=6,950-7,500\\ \\-x=-550\\ \\x=550\\ \\1,500-x=1,500-550=950

Amount in 4% account: $550

Amount in 5% account: $950
