Answer:

$4600

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation to represent the problem.

Interest is calculated by multiplying the interest rate with the investment. <u>Multiplying each of the rates</u> (2%, 7% and 9%) <u>in decimal form with the investment amount is equal to the annual interest</u>, (828).

Convert a percentage to decimal form by dividing by 100:

2% ÷ 100 => 0.02

7% ÷ 100 => 0.07

9% ÷ 100 => 0.09

let "P" represent the amount of money for the total investment

0.02P + 0.07P + 0.09P = 828

Use the equation to solve for "P". Simplify by collecting like terms (numbers that have the same variable) then isolate "P" by moving the other numbers to the right side. To move a number to the other side, do it's reverse operation to both sides of the equation. (The reverse of multiplying is dividing).

0.02P + 0.07P + 0.09P = 828        Collect like terms

0.18P = 828        Isolate "P"

0.18P/0.18 = 828/0.18        Divide both sides by 0.18

P = 828/0.18         "P" is isolated because 0.18 cancelled out. Simplify.

P = 4600        Total investment

Therefore the total investment is $4600.

What is the solution to the following equation? x2 + 3x + 4 = 0​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

x=\dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt7i}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is x^{2}+3x+4=0.

We need to find the solution of the above equation.

The solution of an equation ax^2+bx+c=0 is :

x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

We have, a = 1, b = 3 and c = 4

x=\dfrac{-3+ \sqrt{(3)^2-4(1)(4)} }{2}, \dfrac{-3- \sqrt{(3)^2-4(1)(4)} }{2}\\\\=\dfrac{-3+\sqrt{9-16}}{2}, \dfrac{-3-\sqrt{9-16}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt7i}{2}

So, the solution of the given equation is \dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt7i}{2}.

A right prism with rhombus bases is shown. the side length of each rhombus is 5 units. the height of the prism is 16 units. the
Molodets [167]
To determine the volume of the rhombus, we use the equation,
                           V = Bh
where B is the area of the base and h is the height. 
For rhombus, the area is calculated through the equation,
                         B = D₁D₂/2
Substituting,
                          B = (6)(8) / 2 = 24 units squared

Volume calculation:
                             V = (24)(16) = 384 units cubed
