Answer:

$20,000 into the account earning 3% interest

$3000 into the account earning 7% interest

Step-by-step explanation:

let "a" be the account that earns 3% annual simple interest

let "b" be the account that earns 7% annual simple interest

Create two equations to represent the total investment and interest:

a + b = 23,000

0.03a + 0.07b = 810

When two or more equations have the same variables, it is called a "system" and you can solve for the variables.

Solve using the method substitution.

Rearrange one of the equation so that one variable is isolated

a + b = 23,000

a = 23,000 - b

Substitute "a" for 23,000 - b in the other equation

0.03a + 0.07b = 810

0.03(23,000 - b) + 0.07b = 810    Distribute over the bracket

690 - 0.03b + 0.07b = 810      Combine like terms (with the variable "b")

690 + 0.04b = 810       Start isolating "b" by subtracting 690 on both sides

0.04b = 120        Divide both sides by 0.04

b = 3000         Investment in 7% interest account

Substitute "b" for 3000 in the simpler equation to find "a"

a + b = 23,000

a + 3000 = 23,000     Subtract 3000 from both sides to isolate "a"

a = 20,000        Investment in 3% interest account

Therefore Larry Mitchell invested $20,000 into the account earning 3% annual simple interest and $3000 into the account earning 7% annual simple interest.

Can someone please help me figure out what’s 18 3/4 as a decimal
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

18.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If you covert this into a mixed fraction it would be 75/4 (4*18 is 72 then add the 3 in the numerator) then divide, 75/4 = 18.75 (sorry if explanation is bad)

Write the square of the binomial as a polynomial: (-1 1/3p + 6q)^2
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

\frac{16}{9}p² -16pq + 36q²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(- \frac{4}{3}p + 6q)²

= (- \frac{4}{3}p + 6q)(- \frac{4}{3}p + 6q)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

- \frac{4}{3}p(- \frac{4}{3}p + 6q) + 6q(- \frac{4}{3}p + 6q)

= \frac{16}{9}p² - 8pq - 8pq + 36q² ← collect like terms

= \frac{16}{9}p² - 16pq + 36q²

What is the area of a sector with a central angle 210 and a diameter of 4.6
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Theta = 210°
r = 4.6/2 = 2.3
Area of circle = pi * r * r
= 3.14 * 2.3 * 2.3 = 16.61
Area of sector =
(theta / 360) * area of circle
= (210/360) * 16.61
= 9.69
