Answer: $2294 should be invested in the simple interest account while $4588 should be invested in the certificate of deposit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount that he would deposit in the simple interest account.
Let y represent the amount that he would deposit in the certificate of deposit.
she will deposit twice as much in the certificate of deposit. It means that
y = 2x
Interest from the simple interest account would be 7%. This mean that the interest would be 7/100 × x = $0.07x
Interest from the certificate of deposit account would be 5%. This mean that the interest would be 5/100 × y = $0.05y.
The total interest from both accounts would be $390. It means that
0.07x + 0.05y = 390- - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes
0.07x + 0.05 × 2x = 390
0.07x + 0.1x = 390
0.17x = 390
x = 390/0.17 = $2294
y = 2x = 2 × 2294
y = 4588

Hello.
First off, you can factor this equation to find the missing x-intercept.
y = x² + 8x + 12
y = (x + 6)(x + 2)
Then, you can use the zero product property to find the x values.
x + 6 = 0 x + 2 = 0
- 6 - 6 - 2 - 2
x = -6 x = -2
As an ordered pair: (-6, 0) and (-2, 0)
Thus, your answer is x = -6, -2.
