She invested "a" at 4% and "b" at 7%

now, how much is 4% of a? well  4/100 * a or 0.04a

how much is 7% of b? well 7/100 * b, or 0.07b

now, we know their interest yield was 480, thus

0.04a + 0.07b = 480

we also know, she had 8000 to invest and split it in two investments, so
a + b = 8000

now   \bf \begin{cases}
a+b=8000\implies \boxed{b}=8000-a\\
0.04a+0.07b=480\\
----------\\
0.04a+0.07\left( \boxed{8000-a} \right)=480
\end{cases}

solve for "a" to see how much she invested at 4%

what about "b"?  well b = 8000 - a

The figure shows an aerial view of a playground. If David runs around the field three times, he covers a distance of_____yards.
Andrew [12]

For this case, what we must do is find three times the perimeter of the figure.

The length of the arch is given by:

s = r * \alpha

Where,

r: radius of the circle

alpha: central angle in radians

We have then:

s = 35 * (\frac{280}{180}) * \pi\\s = 171 yards

Then, the perimeter of the figure is:

P = 3 * (171 + 45)\\P = 648 yards

Answer:

If David runs around the field three times, he covers a distance of 648 yards.

How do I figure this out? Y = - ⅙ x -1
astra-53 [7]
Now the fraction is your slope, it determines where your point goes, in this equation you would move up 6 times and move left once because your slope is -1/6. Now your numerator is the one that moves right if it's positive or left if if's negative. Your denominator is the one that moves up if it's positive and down if it's negative. So you're either going up 6 times and moving left once and if you're plotting two points then you move down 6 times and right once, it's basically the reverse. Now the number on the very right is your y-intercept it's always on the y-axis and that's how you start your line. from there you use the slope and plot the two other points and then you connect the points. That's how you do it, hope this helps.
