Answer:
$3,000 was invested in the account that gained 13%
$17,500 was invested in the account that lost 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount in both accounts be x and y
x for the first and y for the second
Adding both is 20,500
x + y = 20,500 •••••(i)
First account earned 13% profit
= 13/100 * x = 0.13x
Second account, a loss of 10%
= -10/100 * y = -0.1y
Total loss of -1,360
This is;
-0.1y + 0.13x = -1,360 •••••••(ii)
From i, x = 20,500-y
Insert this into ii
-0.1y + 0.13(20,500-y) = -1,360
-0.1y + 2665 -0.13y = -1360
-0.23y = -1360-2665
-0.23y = -4025
y = -4025/-0.23
y = 17,500
To get x, we have
x = 20,500 -y
x = 20,500- 17,500
x = 3,000
Answer: (7, 20)
Concept:
There are three general ways to solve systems of equations:
- Elimination
- Substitution
- Graphing
Since the question has specific requirements, we are going to use <u>substitution </u>to solve the equations.
Solve:
<u>Given equations</u>
y = 3x - 1
2x + 6 = y
<u>Substitute the y value since both equations has isolated [y]</u>
2x + 6 = 3x - 1
<u>Add 1 on both sides</u>
2x + 6 + 1 = 3x - 1 + 1
2x + 7 = 3x
<u>Subtract 2x on both sides</u>
2x + 7 - 2x = 3x - 2x
<u>Find the value of y</u>
y = 3x - 1
y = 3(7) - 1
y = 21 - 1

The total number of hours Vanessa work in a week is:
total work hours = (8 hours / day) * 5 day / week
total work hours = 40 hours per week
The total number of hours she did not work:
<span>total hours did not work = (90 minutes)(1 hour / 60
minutes) + (45 minutes)(1 hour / 60 minutes) + 2.5 hours</span>
total hours did not work = 4.75 hours
The amount of hours Vanessa work last week can be
calculated using the formula:
work hours = total work hours - total hours did not work
work hours = 40 hours – 4.75 hours
<span>work hours = 35.25 hours</span>
