Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation: 2a -6=8a ; subtract 2a from both sides leaving -6 = 8a - 2a ; -6=6a ; divide both sides by 6 leaving -6/6=a or -1=a

4. An account was opened with $3000 earning 5%

Natalka [10]

P= $3000
R=5%
Amount=$3300

SI = A-P
= 3300-3000=300.
Therefore SI is $300.

SI = PRT/100

300 = 3000x5xT/100
300= 150T
T = 300/150
T = 2

Therefore . The account has been earning for 2 years

Solve. 2x + 8y = 18 y= -x + 6 Enter your answer, in the form (x, y), in the boxes.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

it is a simultaneous equation and I used Elimination method

$2x + 8y = 18(equ \: 1) \\ y = - x + 6 \: \\ y + x = 6 \: (equ \: 2) \\ \\ from \:( equ2) \\ \: x = 6 - y \: (equ \: 3 )\\ sub. \: (equ3) \: in \: (equ2) \\ 2(6 - y )+ 8y = 18 \\ 12 - 2y + 8y = 18 \\ 6y = 18 - 12 \\ 6y = 6 \\ \frac{6y}{6} = \frac{6}{6} \\ y = 1 \\ \\ sub. \: y \: in \: equ3 \\ x = 6 - y \\ x = 6 - 1 \\ x = 5 \\ \\ \\ y = 1 \: \: x = 5$
