x-(3x+4)=34

x= -19

-19-(3(-19)+4)=34

-19+(57-4)=34

-19+(53)=34

-19+53=34

34=34

therefore the first number is -19 and the second number is 53

Ms. Drake will earn $\$ 170$ in this time from the investment of $\$ 1000$ at a simple interest with rate of interest $8.5\%$

<h3>What is the definition of simple interest?</h3>

Simple interest is a way to figure out how much interest will be charged on a sum of money at a specific rate and for a specific duration of time. Conversely, for compound interest, where we add the interest of one year's principal to the next year's principal to compute interest, the principal amount under simple interest remains constant.

Formula for finding simple interest is $\frac{principal \times rate \ of \ interest \times time}{100}$
