Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of these questions are always tricky, one thing you need to know, is you want to try to solve for one variable, and than substitute it in, to find the value of the other variable, and than plug that answer in to the original question to find the value of that other variable.

That probably sounds really confusing, so I'll just do the math, and guide you along the path...

<em>First, we are going to solve for y, and plug it into 3x-2y=42...</em><em />


2x - y = 26

2x = 26 + y

y = 2x - 26

----------------

3x - 2y = 42

3x - 2(2x - 26) = 42

3x - 4x - 52 = 42

-x - 52 = 42

-x = 94

x = -94

-----------------

3x - 2y = 42

3(-94) - 2y = 42

-282 - 2y = 42

-2y = 324

y = -162

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHECK:

2x - y = 26   

<span />2(-94) - (-162) = 26

-188 + 162 = 26

-26 = 2<span>6<span /><span><span>          </span></span>CORRECT<span /></span><span /><span /><span />

--------------

3x - 2y = 42

3(-94) - 2(-162) = 42

-282 + 324 = 42

42 = 42            <span>CORRECT</span>

f+f+c+c=180

2c+2c+c+c=180

6c=180

c=180/6

c=30

f=2c

f=2×30

Steve invests 1,800 in an account that earns 3.7% annual interest, compounded continuously. What is the value of the account aft
Vlada [557]

Answer: the value of the account after 10 years is $2606

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuously compounded interest is

A = P x e (r x t)

Where

A represents the future value of the investment after t years.

P represents the present value or initial amount invested

r represents the interest rate

t represents the time in years for which the investment was made.

e is the mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183.

From the information given,

P = 1800

r = 3.7% = 3.7/100 = 0.037

t = 10 years

Therefore,

A = 1800 x 2.7183^(0.037 x 10)

A = 1800 x 2.7183^(0.37)

A = $2606 to the nearest dollar
