Answer:
255 5,6 7,78
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this problem is (x,y) = (-4,2)
Assuming that the two investments are X & Y
X + Y = 6300
X = 6300 - Y (1)
9/100X + 4/100 Y = 372 (2)
replacing X from (1) into (2)
9/100(6300-Y) + 4/100 Y = 372
567 - 9/100Y +4/100Y = 372
(-9+4)/100Y = 372 - 567
5/100Y = -195
Y = 100*195/5 = 3900
From (1) we can get X
X = 6300 - 3900 = 2400

The answers would be letter b
Let's take an example to illustrate this case:
<span>positive fraction = 2/7
</span>
<span>negative fraction = - 3/5
Now we need to subtract </span><span>- 3/5 from 2/7
Right?
2/7 - (-3/5) = 2/7 + 3/5
here we need to unify the denominators as follows:
the lowest common factor between 7 and 5 is 35
2/7 = 10/35
3/5 = 21/35
Now back to </span><span>2/7 + 3/5:
</span><span><span>2/7 + 3/5 = 10/35 + 21/35 = (10+21)/35 = 31/35
That's it
Hope that helps you</span>
