Answer:

$8,500 in CDs; $11,500 in bonds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = amount invested in CDs.

Let b = amount invested in bonds.

"A total of $20,000 is to be invested, some in bonds and some in certificates of deposit (CDs)."

From the total investment, we get this equation.

c + b = 20000

"If the amount invested in bonds is to exceed that in CDs by $3000"

From the details of the amounts, we get this equation.

b = c + 3000

We have a system of equations in two unknowns.

c + b = 20000  Eq. 1

b = c + 3000  Eq. 2

Since Eq. 2 is already solved for b, we will use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.

Substitute b in Eq. 1 with c + 3000.

c + c + 3000 = 20000

2c + 3000 = 20000

2c = 17000

c = 8500

Now substitute c = 8500 in Eq. 2 and solve for b.

b = c + 3000

b = 8500 + 3000

b = 11500

Answer: $8,500 in CDs; $11,500 in bonds

What is the solution to this problem
Nuetrik [128]
Hello Again! The answer would be C. (8,11)
To confirm we will plug the numbers x = 8, Y = 11
------------------------
2x - 5 = y
(2 x 8) - 5 = 11
16 - 5 = 11
------------------------
y = x + 3
11 = 8 + 3
------------------------
So now you can determine that the answer would be (8,11)

The probability that a lab specimen contains high levels of contamination is 0.15. A group of 4 independent samples are checked.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

0.5220

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability of contamination is 0.15, the probability of no contamination is 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

The probability that they are all contaminated will be 0.85 * 0.85 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.52200625

This is 0.5220 to four decimal
