Let the amount invested in the first account be x and let the amount invested in the second be 8000 - x  
We have PRT/100 where P is her principal and r, her rate and t, the time 
So in the first account I = x * 5 * 1/100 
I = 5x/100 
On the other hand if she gets 6% interest in the second account, we have I = PRT/100 
So we have I = (8000 - x) * 6 * 1/ 100 
I = (48000 - 6x)/100 
But the combined interst is 438 so we have 
5x/100 + (48, 000 - 6x)/100 = 438 
Multiply through by 100 
5x + 48, 000 - 6x = 43800 
-x = 43800 - 48, 000 
-x = -4200 
Hence x = 4200. She will have to invest 8000 - 4200 in the second account which is 3800

Simple interest rate is given by:
I=(PRT)/100
let the amount invested in 5% S.I. be $x and amount invested in 6% S.I. be $(8000-x)
Interest obtained from 5% will be:
I=5/100×1×x=0.05x

Interest obtained from 6% will be:
I=6/100×1×(8000-x)=0.06(8000-x)
therefore total interest earned from the to schemes will be:
0.05x+0.06(8000-x)=438
solving for x we obtain:
0.05x+480-0.06x=438
0.05x-0.06x=438-480
-0.01x=-42
x=-42/(-0.01)
x=$4200
hence amount invested in 5% S.I. is $4200 and amount invested in 6% S.I. is (8000-4200)=$3800

b) The argument is invalid

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument is invalid because we do not with precision if b), because we do not have enough information about it, and this is because the previous sentences does not mention information about the donkey. We cannot infer something when we do not have enough information.

Aisha and jordan start by making a floor plan for their treehouWhich revision of these two sentences best shows that the coach b
irina1246 [14]

Answer: Statements 1 and 2 shows that the coach blowing the whistle happened first.

Step-by-step explanation: The coach blowing the whistle as the first event can be seen only from statements 1 and 2 only.

From statement 1, "the referee blew the whistle" was followed by "the team ran onto the field."

From statement 2, "before the team ran onto the field" shows clearly that one event took place "BEFORE" the one being reported and the one that occurred before this one was "the referee blew the whistle."

Statement 3 which is "the referee blew the whistle, BUT..." indicates that the whistle was meant to prevent the team from from running onto the field. So if the referee blew the whistle, but the team ran onto the field, it means the whistle blowing was not supposed to make them run onto the field.

Statement 4, which states that "the referee blew the whistle BECAUSE the team ran onto the field" indicates that, the reason for blowing the whistle was because the team ran onto the field which clearly shows that the team ran onto the field first before the referee blew the whistle.

Statement 5, "WHILE the team ran onto the field..." clearly shows that both events took place at the same moment, and so the referee blowing the whistle could not have occurred first.
