Answer:

state A = 32 votes, state B = 53 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of electoral votes for state A be a and state B be b

a  = b - 21

a + b = 85

Substituting a for b - 21 in the second equation

2b - 21 = 85

2b = 106

b = 53

Plugging b back in

85 - 53 = 32

Jamal borrowed $15 600 for 6 years from a bank. The annual simple interest rate for the first 3 years is 1.6%. From then onward,
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

the interest owed is 1684.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for simple interest =

I = Prt, where P is amount borrowed, r for interest rate and t for time.

Since the first three years is 1.6% interest we can write:

I = 15600 x 0.016 x 3

= 748.8

Then for the following 3 years the interest rate is 2%:

I = 15600 x 0.02 x 3

= 936

Adding the values gives us 1684.8

What is the slope of the line described 16x = 4y + 1​
Dvinal [7]

Answer: The slope is 4x.

Step-by-step explanation: First, subtract 4y from both sides to get 16x-4y=1. Next, subtract 16x from both sides to get -4y=-16x+1. Finally, divide all terms by -4 to get y=4x-0.25. The slope is represented by 4x.
