<em><u>Question:</u></em>

The difference of two numbers is nine if the larger number is one more than twice the smaller number find a larger number

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

<em><u>The larger number is 17</u></em>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the smaller number be "a"

Let the larger number be "b"

The difference of two numbers is nine

Therefore,

b - a = 9 ------ eqn 1

larger number is one more than twice the smaller number

Therefore,

b = 1 + 2a ----- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

1 + 2a - a = 9

<h3>a = 8</h3>

Substitute a = 8 in eqn 1

b - 8 = 9

b = 9 + 8

<h3>b = 17</h3>

Thus the larger number is 17

You deposit $800 in an account that pays 2.65% annual interest compounded continuously. What is the balance after 12 years? Use
balu736 [363]

Answer:Let P = initial investment

     r = annual interest rate (decimal form)

     t = number of years

   A(t) = amount after t years

 

Then, A(t) = Pert

 

A(12.5) = 800e(0.0265)(12.5)

 

             = 800e0.33125

 

             = $1114.17

Casey can buy 3 sandwiches and 5 cups of coffee for $26. Eric can buy 4
ioda

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's identify what we are looking for in terms of variables.  Sandwiches are s and coffee is c.  Casey buys 3 sandwiches, which is represented then by 3s, and 5 cups of coffee, which is represented by 5c.   Those all put together on one bill comes to 26.  So Casey's equation for his purchases is 3s + 5c = 26.  Eric buys 4 sandwiches, 4s, and 2 cups of coffee, 2c, and his total purchase was 23.  Eric's equation for his purchases then is 4s + 2c = 23.  In order to solve for c, the cost of a cup of coffee, we need to multiply both of those bolded equations by some factor to eliminate the s's.  The coefficients on the s terms are 4 and 3.  4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly, so we will multiply the first bolded equation by 4 and the second one by -3 so the s terms cancel out.  4[3s + 5c = 26] means that 12s + 20c = 104.  Multiplying the second  bolded equation   by -3:  -3[4s + 2c = 23] means that -12s - 6c = -69.  The s terms cancel because 12s - 12s = 0s.  We are left with a system of equations that just contain one unknown now, which is c, what we are looking to solve for.  20c = 104 and -6c = -69.  Adding those together by the method of elimination (which is what we've been doing all this time), 14c = 35.  That means that c = 2.5 and a cup of coffee is $2.50.  There you go!
