Answer:
(x, y) = (-3, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the given value of y into the equation and solve for x.
... 7·2 +3x = 5
... 3x = -9 . . . . . . subtract 14
... x = -3 . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient
The solution (x, y) is (-3, 2).
Simple interest = Cost Price + (Interest Percentage of Cost Price × number of years or months we are paying off)
a) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + £4000 = £24 000
b) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + £3000 = £23 000
£24 000 - £23 000 = £1000 that you saved!

As they are numbers which you can do mental math with since they are whole numbers.
