a = amount invested at 4%

b = amount invested at 8%

we know the total amount invested is 8700, so if he invested "a" already, the second amount must be b = 8700 - a.

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{4\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{4}{100}\right)a\implies 0.04a}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{8\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{8}{100} \right)b\implies 0.08b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the percentages}}{0.04a+0.08b}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{yield for 1 year}}{540}\implies 0.04a+0.08\left(\boxed{8700-a} \right) = 540 \\\\\\ 0.04a-0.08a+696=540\implies -0.04a+696=540\implies -0.04a=-156 \\\\\\ a= \cfrac{-156}{-0.04}\implies \blacktriangleright a = 3900 \blacktriangleleft~\hfill b = 8700-3900\implies \blacktriangleright b = 4800 \blacktriangleleft

Solve please. Correctly<br> 3(1 - 2a) = -3a - 18
True [87]

Answer:

a = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(1 - 2a) = -3a - 18

3 - 6a = - 3a - 18

Add 18 to each side:

3 + 18 - 6a = - 3a - 18 + 18

21 - 6a = - 3a

Add 6a to each side:

21 - 6a + 6a = - 3a + 6a

21 = 3a

3a = 21

Divide each side by 3:

3a ÷ 3 = 21 ÷ 3

a = 7

For what values of a does the equation a+x= 1+xa^2 have no solution?
Anton [14]

Answer:

We have the equation

a+x= 1+xa^2

we leave the terms with x on the left side of the equation and the independent terms on the right side.

x-xa^2=1-a\\(1-a^2)x=1-a\\

resolving for x we have that

x=\frac{1-a}{1-a^2}

Since we need that the equation doesn't have solution, then it is necessary that the denominator of x be 0 and this occur when 1-a^2=0\\1=a^2\\a=\pm1

Then, for a=\pm1 the equation hasn't solution
