Airida [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -13, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

let a number = x; the other = y

x = 3y - 4

x + y = -16

Isolate the y in the second equation. Subtract x from both sides

x (-x) + y = -16 (-x)

y = -16 - x

Plug in -16 - x for y

x = 3(-16 - x) - 4

Simplify. Distribute 3 to all terms within the parenthesis

x = -3x - 48 - 4

x = -3x - 52

Isolate the x. Add 3x to both sides

x (+3x) = -3x (+3x) - 52

4x = -52

Divide 4 from both sides

(4x)/4 = (-52)/4

x = -52/4

x = -13

Plug in -13 for x in one of the equations:

x + y = -16

(-13) + y = -16

Isolate the x. Add 13 to both sides

y - 13 (+13) = -16 (+13)

y = -16 + 13

y = -3

Answers: x = -13, y = -3

larisa [96]

Answer:

15.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The deforestation is a exponential function of the form

y=a(b)^{x}

where

y ----> the number of trees still remaining in the forest

x ----> the number of years

a is the initial value (a=500,000 threes)

b is the base

b=100%-4.7%=95.3%=95.3/100=0.953

substitute

y=500,000(0.953)^{x}

The linear equation of planting threes in the region is equal to

y=15,000x

using a graphing tool

Solve the system of equations

The intersection point is (15.7,235,110)

see the attached figure

therefore

For x=15.7 years

The number of trees they have planted will be equal to the number of trees still remaining in the forest

If an investment account starts with $3,900, and grows with 2.1% interest, compounded annually, how much is the account worth af
zalisa [80]

Answer:

$5327

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for calculating compound interest

A(t)=P(1+r/n)^n⋅t,

where A(t) is the balance of the account, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), n is the number of times the interest is compounded each year, and t is the time (in years). We are given that P=$3,900, r=0.021, n=1, and t=15. Substituting the values into the formula and using a calculator to evaluate, we find

A(t)=P(1+r/n)^n⋅t = $3,900(1+0.0211)^(15)(1) ≈ $5,326.61

So the final answer is $5,327.

what will be the total paid on an amortized loan of $15,000 for 5 years at 2 3/4% compounded monthly?
Alex73 [517]

the loan is being amortized, so that doesn't matter for its future value, the simple case that the borrower is paying it in bits monthly.

so, we're really just looking for the future value of the Principal $15000, let's convert theat mixed fraction to improper fraction, and then to a percent format firstly.


\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{4}}\implies \stackrel{decimal}{2.75} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}


\bf \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$15000\\ r=rate\to 2.75\%\to \frac{2.75}{100}\dotfill &0.0275\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly, thus twelve} \end{array}\dotfill &12\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=15000\left(1+\frac{0.0275}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 5}\implies A=15000\left( \frac{4811}{4800} \right)^{60}\implies A\approx 17208.318305


how did we get 4811/4800?   well, is really just the 1+(0.0275/12), which gives us about 1.0022917 but is a repeating decimal, so 4811/4800 is just the fraction version of it.
