0.015x+0.03(12000-x)=300
Solve for x
X=4000 at 1.5%

12000-4000=8000 at 3%

Answer: The system of equations is,

0.15x+0.03y=300

x+y=12000

Step-by-step explanation:

For first account,

Investment = x,

Annual rate of interest = 1.5 %

Time = 1 year

Thus, the total interest by one account,

I_1=\frac{x\times 1.5\times 1}{100}=0.015x

Now, for second account,

Investment = y

Annual rate of interest = 1.5%

Time = 1,

Hence, the interest by the second account,

I_2=\frac{y\times 3\times 1}{100}=0.03y

Thus, the total interest,

I=I_1+I_2=0.015 x + 0.03y

According to the question,

I=300

\implies 0.15x+0.03y = 300

Now,  total investment = 12000,

⇒ x + y = 12000

Hence, the required system of equations, to solve for how much money Leroy invested in the two accounts is,

0.015x+0.03y= 300,

x+y=12000

One solution!

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make a graph of the given equations, the lines will intersect at a point. We know that whenever lines intersect, it means the equations have one solution or a unique solution.

joanne cannot decide which of two washing machines to buy. The selling price of each is ​$660. The first is marked down by ​40%.
Alexxx [7]

Answer: The first machine would cost $420

and the second machine would cost $432

you should buy the first machine

Step-by-step explanation:If you get a 30% discount, then you are paying 70% of the selling price.

Machine 1:  600(.70) = 420

Machine 2:  A 10% discount means you pay 90%

600(.90) = 540   But now you get a 20% discount on that amount, which means you would pay 80%

So, 540(.80) = 432
