Indefinitely many
The lines are on each other so every solution is correct
Answer: It should be 18...(Multiple of 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for compound interest is
Interest = Amount - Principal
Interest =
- P
Where r = rate in percent
t = time in years
For Jaina,
P = $300
r= 7%
t = 3 yrs
So, Interest =
- 300
For Tomas
P = $400
r= 4%
t = 3 yrs
So, Interest =
- 400
So pair of equations for Jaina and Tomas are
Interest =
- 300
Interest =
- 400
Hi there!
So, our two equations are:
2x + 3y = 20 and
-2x + y = 4
We can see that the x's will cancel out because they're the same number, opposite signs. Then we're left with 4y = 24.
Divide 24 by 4, which is 6.
y = 6, then we plug that in to the first equation for y:
2x + 3(6) = 20
2x + 18 = 20
2x = 2
x = 1
So, she made her first mistake when adding the equations, adding 20 and 4, she somehow got 16.
The solution to the system is (1,6).
I hope I helped!
