Answer:

  $11,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, when I work "mixture" problems, I like to choose the variable so it represents the amount of the largest contributor. Here, that would be the amount invested at 15%.

Unfortunately, the question asks for the amount invested at 7%. Using a variable to represent that amount means that there will be negative numbers involved. Care must be taken in the arithmetic.

Let x represent the amount invested at 7%. Then 16000-x is the amount invested at 15%. The total interest for one year is ...

  0.07x + 0.15(16000 -x) = 1500 . . . . sum of interest amounts at each rate

  -0.08x +2400 = 1500  . . simplify

  -0.08x = -900 . . . . . . . . subtract 2400

  x = 11250 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.08

The bank loaned $11,250 at 7%.

For which values of x will the rational expression below be undefined (x-3)(x+6)/x+7
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

E. -7

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{(x-3)(x+6)}{x+7}       Substitute x for -7

\frac{(-7-3)(-7+6)}{-7+7}   Simplify

\frac{(-10)(-1)}{0}         Multiply

\frac{10}{0}                   This is undefined because you can't divide any number by 0.
