Answers:

  • <u>24000 dollars</u> invested at 4%
  • <u>18000 dollars</u> was invested at 7%

======================================================

Work Shown:

x = amount invested at 4%

If she invests x dollars at 4%, then the rest (42000-x) must be invested at the other rate of 7%

She earns 0.04x dollars from that first account and 0.07(42000-x) dollars from the second account

This means we have

0.04x+0.07(42000-x)

0.04x+0.07*42000-0.07x

0.04x+2940-0.07x

-0.03x+2940

This represents the total amount of money earned after 1 year.

We're told the amount earned in interest is $2220, so we can say,

-0.03x+2940 = 2220

-0.03x = 2220-2940

-0.03x = -720

x = -720/(-0.03)

x = 24000 dollars is the amount invested at 4%

42000-x = 42000-24000 = 18000 dollars was invested at 7%

----------------------

As a check, we can see that

18000+24000 = 42000

and also

0.04x = 0.04*24000 = 960 earned from the first account

0.07*18000 = 1260 earned from the second account

1260+960 = 2220 is the total interest earned from both accounts combined

This confirms our answers.

The two triangles are similar, what is the value of X?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, you can make an equation 12/5x-2 = 16/6x. When you cross multiply you get 72x=80x-32. Then you transfer the 80x and you get -8x = -32. Then you divide by -8 and you get x=4.
