We can solve this by setting up a system of equations. x and y will represent the two numbers.
x+y = 12
x-y = -2
Personally, I'm going to solve the system by solving one of the equations for x and substituting it into the other one.
x = 12-y
12-y-y = -2
12-2y = -2
-2y = -14
y = 7

Now find the other number by plugging 7 in for y in one of the equations.
x+7 = 12
x = 5
OR
x-7 = -2
x = 5

So, the two numbers are 5 and 7.

A = P(1 + rt)

Where:

<span>·         </span>A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)

<span>·         </span>P = Principal Amount

<span>·         </span>I = Interest Amount

<span>·         </span>r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100

<span>·         </span>R = Rate of Interest per year as a percent; R = r * 100

<span>·         </span>t = Time Period involved in months or years

A = 15,000(1+ 0.07(5))

A = 20,250 they acquired in total for 5 years

The yearly amount the get is 15,000 xx 0.07 = $ 1050 per year

So in the next 25 years addition of 1050x25 = $26250 they will get
