Answer: Try D
Step-by-step explanation:
X + y = 40.....multiply by -4
4x + 6y = 180
-------------------
-4x - 4y = -160 (result of multiplying by -4)
4x + 6y = 180
------------------add
2y = 20
y = 20/2
y = 10 <===
x = 30
Answer: 292.50 dollars
Work Shown:
P = 650 is the the principal.
r = 0.09 is the interest rate in decimal form.
t = 5 is the number of years.
i = P*r*t
i = 650*0.09*5
i = 292.50 is the simple interest.
