Answer:
- $17,500 at 8%
- $17,500 at 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...
(11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2
Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:
$17,500 for 8% return
$17,500 for 14% return.
_____
If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...
14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)
(14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000
x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.
Answer:
$8.59
Step-by-step explanation:

Their distance differs by 15 miles for each hour of travel time. Thus, the travel time of interest is
.. (180 -144) miles/(15 miles/hour) = 2.4 hour
The red car's speed is 180 mi/(2.4 h) = 75 mi/h.
The blue car's speed is 144 mi/(2.4 h) = 60 mi/h.

See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure below, segment CD is parallel to segment EF, DE is a transversal, then angles DIH and HGI are congruent as alternate interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
Consider triangles DIH and EGH. In these triangles,
as alternate interior angles;
as vertical angles;
because point H bisects segment DE (given).
Thus,
by AAS postulate
