Paul needs to invest $10000 at 6% interest and $30000 at 10% interest to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose, the amount of money at 6% interest is x

As Paul has total $40000 to invest, so the amount of money at 10% interest will be: (40000-x) dollar

His intent is to earn 9% interest on his $40000 investment. So, the equation will be......

0.06x+0.10(40000-x)=0.09*40000\\ \\ 0.06x+4000-0.10x=3600\\ \\ -0.04x=3600-4000=-400\\ \\ x=\frac{-400}{-0.04}=10000

So, Paul needs to invest <u>$10000 at 6% interest</u> and ($40000- $10000) or <u>$30000 at 10% interest </u>to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.

Given

Paul has $40000 to invest &he can invest part of his money at 6% and part at 10% interest.

Find out  Paul  invest in each option to make a total of 9% return on  $40000 .

To proof

Paul invest = $ 40000

let us assume that x be the part of money he invested at 6%.

let us assume that (40000 - x) be the part of money he invested at 10 %.

6% written in the simpler form              

= \frac{6}{100}

= 0.06

similarly,

10% written in the simpler form = 0 .1

9% written in the simpler form = 0.09

than the equation becomes

0.09 (40000) = (40000 - x ) 0.1 +  0.06x

3600 = 4000 - 0.1x + 0.06x

0.1x - 0.06x = 4000 - 3600

0.04x = 400

x = 10000

$ 10000 be the part of money he invested at 6%.

$30000 be the part of money he invested at 10 %.

Hence proved

Solve for the missing side to the nearest tenth.<br> 16<br> 30<br> X =
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: x=32

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a triangle is 180°, the missing angle in the triangle would be 60°.

Because of the 30°-60°-90° angles theorem, The side opposite 90° is double the side opposite 30°, which means that x=32.

Which polynomial is in standard form?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

D). 5x^7y^2+7x^6y^5-14x^3y^7+51x^2y^9

Step-by-step explanation:

For better clarity let us re write the options

A).2xy^3+3x^3y^4-4x^4y^5+9x^5y^6

B).8x^5-5y^4-2xy^5+x^2y

C).x^3y^2-3x^2y-9x^4y^3+11x

D).5x^7y^2+7x^6y^5-14x^3y^7+51x^2y^9

To express polynomial with mixed variables in standard form, we begin by the highest coefficient of x to the smallest (we place high precedence on the coefficient  x terms)
