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.

Solve and check: 5 - 6 = -3<br> k
xxTIMURxx [149]

5 - 6 =  - 3k \\  - 1 =  - 3k \\  \frac{1}{3}  = k
First, we combine the terms on the left side of the equation to simplify the equation. Then we divide both sides by -3. k then equals 1/3.
To check, we plug in our value for k into the original equation:
5 - 6 =  - 3k \\ 5 - 6 =  - 3( \frac{1}{3} ) \\  - 1 =  - 1
We found k to be 1/3, so for every instance of k, we plug in 1/3. To simplify, we combine the left side to get -1, and we combine the right side to get -1.
Since -1 = -1, our solution is correct.
