Solve for x in the simultaneous equation 2x+y=3 ,5x-2y=12

Mathematics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 3 → (1)

5x - 2y = 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

4x + 2y = 6 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(5x + 4x ) +( - 2y + 2y) = 12 + 6 , that is

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 2

At the beginning of year 1, Bode invests $250 at an annual simple interest rate of 3%. He makes no deposits to or withdrawals fr
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The initial investment = $250
<span>annual simple interest rate of 3% = 0.03
</span>
Let the number of years = n
the annual increase = 0.03 * 250
At the beginning of year 1 ⇒ n = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ A(1) = 250 + 0 * 250 * 0.03 = 250

At the beginning of year 2 ⇒ n = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ A(2) = 250 + 1 * 250 * 0.03
At the beginning of year 3 ⇒ n = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ A(2) = 250 + 2 * 250 * 0.03
and so on .......
∴ <span>The formula that can be used to find the account’s balance at the beginning of year n is:
</span>
A(n) = 250 + (n-1)(0.03 • 250)
<span>At the beginning of year 14 ⇒ n = 14 ⇒ substitute with n at A(n)</span>
∴ A(14) = 250 + (14-1)(0.03*250) = 347.5

So, the correct option is <span>D.A(n) = 250 + (n – 1)(0.03 • 250); $347.50 </span>

trapecia [35]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the information we know :

A. a = 4

B. b = 15

C. c = 16

a + c

The a and c represent variables that must be substituted by their value, since we know their initial value, we substitute :

a + c when a = 4 and c = 16

4 + 16
