Answer:

Principal in Account A: $16.67

Principal in Account B: $33.33

Account B earned the most interest in the first month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the simple interest formula: I = Prt

"I" represents total interest earned

"P" is principal, the starting amount

"r" is the rate of interest in decimal form. Find this by dividing percentage by 100.

"t" is the time where interest was earned

Substitute all the information you know into the equation. Then isolate "P" to find the principal. Next, use the formula to calculate the interest for 1 month.

<u>Account A</u>

t = 15

I = 9.25

r = 3.7%   ==> Convert to decimal: 3.7/100 = 0.037

Find principal:

I = Prt

9.25 = P(0.037)(15)

9.25 = 0.555P    <=Divide both sides by 0.555

P = 16.67

First month interest:

I = Prt

I = 16.67(0.037)(1)

I = 0.62

<u>Account B</u>

t = 27

I = 21.60

r = 2.4%   ==> Convert to decimal: 2.4/100 = 0.024

Find principal:

I = Prt

21.60 = P(0.024)(27)

21.60 = 0.648P    <= Divide both sides by 0.648

P = 33.33

First month interest:

I = Prt

I = 33.33(0.024)(1)

I = 0.80

The first month interest in Account B was more than in Account A.

0.80 > 0.62

Therefore, the principal in Account A is $16.67. The principal in Account B is $33.33. Account B earned the most interest in the first month.

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation 2x − y = 9?
Elodia [21]
You can try by plugging each ordered pair and seeing if the equation comes out true.

(5, 1)

2 * 5 - 1 = 9

That's correct so C is the correct answer.

There is no list and no choices given.

The solutions of     | x | = 10   are   x = 10  and   x = -10 .
 
All (both) solutions happen to be integers.
There are no other solutions.

-7x - 2y = 19<br> 4x + y = -12<br> Solve the system
nalin [4]

-7x - 2y = 19

4x + y = -12

Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)

-7x - 2y = 19

8x + 2y = -76

Add equations together

x = -52

Plug x value into an equation

4(-52) + y = -12

Solve for y

-208 + y = -12

y = 196

Hope this helps! ;)

Please solve Y Im in desperate need of help..​
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Y = 10

Explanation:

We know that the left and top angles are 45°, the base is 10, and the bottom right angle is 90°, or a right angle. The simplest way I can explain this is the bottom side of the triangle is the same as the right side of the triangle. Meaning "y" would be 10 like the bottom.

If I'm right, I'd appreciate a brainliest as it'd really help me out :D
