It is x+n-8. I believe that if you put the parentheses it will mean you are multiplying x+n by -8.
4.30A+5.70B=855.40
A+B=168
A=168-B
substitute
4.30(168-B)+5.70B=855.40
4.30*168-4.30B+5.70B=855.40
1.40B =855-4.30*168
1.40B=132.60
B=132.60/1.40= 94.7 pounds≈95 pouds
Answer:
5000 ;
11125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Total principal = 16125
Rates = 8.5% and 4%
Period, t = 2 years
Total interest = 1740
Let :
Principal amount invested at 8.5% = x
Principal amount invested at 4% = 16125 - x
Interest formula :
Interest = principal * rate * time
Hence, mathematically ;
(x * 8.5% * 2) + [(16125 - x) * 4% * 2] = 1740
(0.17x + 1290 - 0.08x ) = 1740
0.09x + 1290 = 1740
0.09x = 1740 - 1290
0.09x = 450
x = 450 / 0.09
x = 5000
Amount invested at 4% :
16125 - 5000 = 11125
