Answer:

x=5/2 + a/2, y= 5/2 - a/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this system using addition of the equations

x+y=5

x-y=a

2x =(5+a)

x=(5+a)/2= 5/2 +a/2

x=5/2 +a/2

x-y=a

y = x - a , x=5/2 + a/2

y= 5/2 + a/2-a

y= 5/2 - a/2

tyrone opens an account at the local bank by depositing $50 of his birthday money. He continues to deposit $50 each month for 5

Pavel [41]

Answer-

The amount will be $8944.62 after 5 years.

Solution-

We know that,

$\text{FV of annuity}=P[\dfrac{(1+r)^n-1}{r}]$

Where,

P = Payment = $50 monthly

r = rate of interest compounded monthly= $3\frac{1}{4}=3.25\%=0.0325$

n = number of period = 5 years = 5×12 = 60 months

Putting the values in the formula,

$\text{FV of annuity}=50[\dfrac{(1+0.0325)^{60}-1}{0.0325}]$

$=50[\dfrac{(1.0325)^{60}-1}{0.0325}]$

$=50[\dfrac{6.8140-1}{0.0325}]$

$=50[\dfrac{5.8140}{0.0325}]$

$=50\times 178.8923$

$=8944.62$

Therefore, the amount will be $8944.62 after 5 years.
