Answer:

You should invest $820 in account A and $940 in account B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets use the system of linear equations to solve the problem

- Simple Interest Equation I = Prt , Where:

# P = Invested Amount

# I = Interest Amount

# r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100

# t = Time Period involved in months or years

* Lets solve the problem

- The total money invested is $1760

- Account A pays 7​% annual interest

- Account B pays 4​% annual interest

- Let A represent the amount of money invested in the account A

- Let B represent the amount of money invested in the account B

- You would like to earn $ 95 at the end of one year

∴ The interest from both accounts at the end of one year is $95

- Lets write the equations

# Account A :

∵ Account A has $A invested

∴ P = $A

∵ Account A pays 7​% annual interest

∴ r = 7/100 = 0.07

∵ t = 1 year

∵ I = Prt

∴ I = A(0.07)(1) = 0.07A

# Account B :

∵ Account B has $B invested

∴ P = $B

∵ Account A pays 4​% annual interest

∴ r = 4/100 = 0.04

∵ t = 1 year

∵ I = Prt

∴ I = B(0.04)(1) = 0.04B

- The total amount of interest from both accounts at the end of one

  year is $95

∴ I from A + I from B = 95

∴ 0.07A + 0.04B = 95 ⇒ multiply both sides by 100

∴ 7A + 4B = 9500 ⇒ (1)

- The total money to invest in both accounts is $1760

∵ Account A has $A invested

∵ Account B has $B invested

∴ A + B = 1760 ⇒ (2)

* Lets solve the system of equations to find the amount of money

  invested in each account

- Multiply equation (2) by -4 to eliminate B

∵ A + B = 1760 ⇒ × -4

∴ -4A - 4B = -7040 ⇒ (3)

- Add equation (1) and (3)

∵ 7A + 4B = 9500 ⇒ (1)

∵ -4A - 4B = -7040 ⇒ (3)

∴ 7A - 4A = 9500 - 7040

∴ 3A = 2460 ⇒ divide both side by 3

∴ A = 820

- Substitute the value of A in equation (1) or (2)

∵ A + B = 1760 ⇒ (2)

∴ 820 + B = 1760 ⇒ subtract 820 from both sides

∴ B = 940

- From all above

* You should invest $820 in account A and $940 in account B

The figure below shows two parallel lines intersected by a third line. What is the value of x
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles given in the diagram are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent. Therefore:

(4x)° = (x + 60)°

Use the equation to solve for the value of x

4x = x + 60

Subtract x from both sides

4x - x = x + 60 - x

3x = 60

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{60}{3}

x = 20
