1 answer:

8 0

<span> x-y=-3 so y = x + 3
-5x-2y=1
substitute </span> y = x + 3 into -5x-2y=1
-5x - 2y = 1
-5x - 2(x + 3) = 1
-5x - 2x - 6 = 1
-7x= 7
x = -1

y = x + 3 = -1 + 3 = 2

answer
(-1, 2)

Brrunno [24]

The formula is Interest = principle times rate times time in years.
I=prt

p=1000
r= 0.025
t=x

To find the amount of interest that is earned in a specific time frame, subtract the final amount of money by the principal. 1500-1000=500.

500 = 1000(0.025)x
500 = 25x
x= 20 years
