Garrett chooses to invest $1800 in a simple. The account earns 3% interest over 5 years which equation represents garrets invest

Alla [95]

The interest earned in 5 years would be $270

Explanation:

Given:

Principal, P = $1800

Rate of interest, r = 3%

Time, t = 5 years

Simple interest, I = ?

We know,

$I = \frac{p X r X t}{100}$

On substituting the value we get

$I = \frac{1800 X 3 X 5}{100} \\\\I = 270$

Therefore, interest earned in 5 years would be $270

Determine the solution to f(x) = g(x) using the following system of equations: (5 points) f(x) = 3x − 23 g(x) = −4.5x + 7

jeka94

Answer:

(The solution is (4, -11).

Step-by-stp explanation:

Let f(x) = g(x) = y:

y = 3x − 23

y = -4.5x + 7 Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate y:

0 = 7.5x - 30

7.5x = 30

x = 4

Plug this into the first equation:

y = 3(4) - 23

y = -11.
