These are the two rules for when a and b are positive numbers.
a + b = b + a
a - b ≠ b -a
a - b = -b + a

For example:

5.71 + 2.84 = 2.84 + 5.71
8.55 = 8.55

5.71 - 2.84 ≠ 2.84 - 5.71
2.87 ≠ -2.87

5.71 - 2.84 = -2.84 + 5.71
2.87 = 2.87



These are the rules for when a and b are negative numbers.
a + b = b + a
a - b = b + a

For example,

-6.2 + (-3.96) = -3.96 + (-6.2)
-6.2 - 3.96 = -3.96 - 6.2
-10.16 = -10.16

-6.2 - (3.96) = -3.96 + (-6.2)
-10.16 = -10.16



Also, if a is a positive number, while b is a negative number, we see these rules:
a + b = a - b
a - b = a + b

For example,

5.71 + (-6.2) = 5.71 - 6.2
-0.49 = -0.49

5.71 - (-6.2) = 5.71 + 6.2
11.91 = 11.91


Also, if a is a negative number while b is a positive number, then these rules will apply:
a + b = b - a
a - b = -b - a

For example,

-3.96 + 2.84 = 2.84 - 3.96
-1.12 = <span>-1.12
</span>
-3.96 - 2.84 = -2.84 - 3.96
-6.8 = -6.8


I hope this helps! :)

A bank loaned out ​$19,000​, part of it at the rate of 9 % per year and the rest at 19 % per year. If the interest received in o
VMariaS [17]

Answer: $11100 was loaned at 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the

bank loaned out at the annual rate of 9%.

Let y represent the amount that the

bank loaned out at the annual rate of 19%.

The bank loaned out ​$19,000​, part of it at the rate of 9% per year and the rest at 19% per year. It means that

x + y = 19000

The interest on $x after 1 year would be

9/100 × x = 0.09x

The interest on $y after 1 year would be

19/100 × y = 0.19y

If the interest received in one year totaled ​$2500. It means that

0.09x + 0.19y = 2500- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 19000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.09(19000 - y) + 0.19y = 2500

1710 - 19000y + 0.19y = 2500

- 0.09y + 0.19y = 2500 - 1710

- 0.1y = - 790

y = - 790/- 0.1

y = $7900

x = 19000 - y = 19000 - 7900

x = $11100

On a recent trip to a local orchard, the Morgan family picked four different kinds of apples - Braeburn, Cortland, Fuji, and Rom
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Morgan family picked 144 Braeburn apples, 96 Cortland apples, 72 Fuji apples and 48 Rome apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B, C, F and R represent Braeburn apples, Cortland apples, Fuji apples, and Rome apples respectively.

We have been given that Morgan family picked a total of 360 apples. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B+C+F+R=360...(1)

We are told that Morgan family picked twice as many Braeburn as Fuji. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B=2F...(2)

We are told that Morgan family picked twice as many Cortland as Rome, that is:

C=2R...(3)

We are told that Morgan family picked 50% more Fuji than Rome, that is:

F=1.5R...(4)

Upon substituting equation (4) in equation (2), we will get:

B=2(1.5)R

B=3R

Now, each apple in in terms of Rome apples, so we will get:

3R+2R+1.5R+R=360

Let us solve for R.

7.5R=360

\frac{7.5R}{7.5}=\frac{360}{7.5}

R=48

Therefore, Morgan family picked 48 Rome apples.

Upon substituting R=48 in (3), we will get:

C=2R\Rightarrow 2(48)=96

Therefore, Morgan family picked 96 Cortland apples.

Upon substituting R=48 in (4), we will get:

F=1.5R\Rightarrow 1.5(48)=72

Therefore, Morgan family picked 72 Fuji apples.

Upon substituting F=72 in (2), we will get:

B=2F\Rightarrow 2(72)=144

Therefore, Morgan family picked 144 Braeburn apples.
