What is the x-coordinate of the solution of the following system of equations?

1 answer:

8 0

Plug in the x value from the second equation
3(-y+2)+2y=12
use distributive property.
-3y+6+2y=12
since the y values are in the same side of the = sign, just put them together.
-y+6=12
subtract 6 from 6 and 12.
-y=6
since the equation has a negative y, divide what is left by -1.
y= -6.
that is the y value. now plug that in to the first equation.
3x+2(-6)=12
multiply.
3x-12=12add 12 to both 12s
3x=24
divide.
x=8.

the ordered pair is (8, -6), and the x value is 8.

Find the amount of interest payable if $400 is borrowed at 14% interest and is to be repaid in 6 months

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the Principal amount borrowed = $400

Rate of Interest = 14%

Time = 6 months = 6 / 12 years = 0.5 year

Now, SIMPLE INTEREST = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$

So, here SI = $SI = \frac{400 \times 14 \times 0.5}{100} = 28$

or, SI = $28

Hence, the amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.

Can someone help me with this? I am a little confused

arsen [322]

28 .to explain they want to know the missing side and the triangles are equal to each-other just one is projected smaller than the other . So the one with 16 16 and 24 is the smaller one . The difference between 24-16 is 8 . And In the bigger one the sides 20 and 20 where given so since the smaller one is equal to the bigger one you just do 20+8=28
