Skyler's age is 72 and Kori's age is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: From the given details, form equations. Let the age of Skyler be x and that of Kori be 96 - x (since their sum is 96).
Step 2: Considering their ages 8 years ago, form equations.

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (96 - x - 8)

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (88 - x)

⇒ (x - 8) = 352 - 4x

⇒ 5x = 360

⇒ x = 72

Step 3: Calculate Kori's age

⇒ 96 - x = 24

Sarah had invested $800 in a savings account that paid 4.2% interest compounded annually. How much money was in the account afte

schepotkina [342]

Answer: $943.11

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Compound Interest formula is: $A=P(1+r)^t$ where

A is the Accrued amount (total earned)
P is the Principal (amount initially invested)
r is the interest Rate (convert percent to a decimal)
t is the Time (number of years)

It is given that; P = 800 r = 4.2% (0.042) t = 4

A = 800(1 + 0.042)⁴

A = 800(1.042)⁴

A = 943.106 → A = 943.11 (rounded to the nearest penny)

Sarah invested $800 for four years at an interest rate of 4.2% and accrued $943.11

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed below? y = x + 2 y = 3x – 2 A. (0, 2) B. (2, 4) C. (4, 2) D. (0, –2)

love history [14]

Answer:

B. (2, 4)

Explanation:

<u>Given equations</u>:

a) y = x + 2

b) y = 3x – 2

Solve them simultaneously:

x + 2 = 3x – 2

x - 3x = -2 - 2

-2x = -4

x = 2

Then find y = x + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

Solution: (x, y) = (2, 4)
