If Paul wants to gain 12% interest, he would expect that the money he will have after a certain period of time is:

Future worth = 90000(1+0.12) = $100,800

Let's distribute the future worth to the different interest rates. The solution is as follows:

x + y = 90,000 --> eqn 1
100,800 = x(1+0.07) + y(1+0.13) --> eqn 2

Solving the equations simultaneously,

100,800 = x(1+0.07) + (90,000 - x)(1+0.13)
Solving for x:
x = 15,000
y = 90 000 - 15 000 = 75,000

Therefore, Paul should place $15,000 to the 7% interest and $75,000 to the 13% interest.

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

You solve the substitution method to solve a system of equality by expressing one variable in terms of the other using one equation, and then plugging this expression in the other(s).

In this case, the first equation gives us a way to express n in terms of m. So, we can replace every occurrence of n in the second equation with the given formula.

The result is

14m+2n=-8 \iff 14m+2(-7m-4)=-8 \iff 14m-14m-8=-8 \iff -8=-8

So, the second equation turned to be an equality, i.e. an equation where both sides are the same.

This implies that the system has infinitely many solutions, because every couple (n,m) such that n=-7m-4 is a solution to the system, because it satisfies both equations: the first is trivially satisfied, whereas the second is an identity, and as such is satisfied by any value of the variable.

Albert deposits $2785 in an account that earns 3.9% interest compounded monthly. this function models the amount in the account
Step2247 [10]

The amount for the given data is found as,\rm a = 2825(1+\frac{3.9}{12} )^{12t}.The given expression is true.

<h3>What is the amount?</h3>

The complete repayment of money at the end of the period for which it was borrowed is referred to as the amount.

The given data in the problem is;

P is the annual payment=2827

r is the rate of interest = 3.9%

n is the time period=12

The formula for the amount is found as;

\rm a = p(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

Substitute the given value;

\rm a = 2825(1+\frac{3.9}{12} )^{12t}

Hence the given expression is true.

To learn more about the amount, refer to the link: brainly.com/question/12184047.
