Answer:

The amount of the initial investment is $ 6000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: After five years of earning interest at an annual rate of 4%, an investment has earned $1,200 in interest.

We have to find the amount of the initial investment.

We know,

\text{Simple interest}=p\times r\times t

Where P is initial investment

r is rate of interest

t is time period.

Given : Simple interest = $ 1200

Rate = 4 % =0.04

Time = 5 years

Substitute, we get,

1200=P\times 0.04\times 5

Solve for P, we have,

Divide both side by 0.04 × 5  , we have,

\frac{1200}{0.04\times 5}=P

Simplify, we get ,

P = $ 6000

Thus, The amount of the initial investment is $ 6000.

-10 = y/11 - 13<br><br> solve for y
Flauer [41]

Answer:

10=y/11-13

We move all terms to the left:

-10-(y/11-13)=0

-y/11+13-10=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

-y+13*11-10*11=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1y+33=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

-y=-33

y=-33/-1

y=+33
