Hue is arranging chairs.She can form 6 rows of a given length with 3 chairs left over,or 8 rows of that same length if she gets
Zanzabum

Answer:

There are 7 chairs in each row length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of chairs in 1 row be 'x'.

Let total number of chairs be 'y'.

Given:

Hue can form 6 rows of a given length with 3 chairs left over.

It means that Total number of chairs is equal to chairs in 1 rows multiplied by number of rows which is 6 plus number of chairs which is left which is 3.

Framing in equation form we get.

y=6x+3 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

Hue can form 8 rows of that same length if she gets 11 more chairs.

It means that Total number of chairs is equal to chairs in 1 rows multiplied by number of rows which is 8 minus number of chairs which is required more which is 11.

Framing in equation form we get.

y=8x-11 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

From equation 1 and equation 2 we can say that L.H.S is same.

So according to law of transitivity we get;

6x+3=8x-11

Combining like terms we get;

8x-6x=11+3

Using Subtraction and Addition property we get;

2x=14

Now Using Division Property we will divide both side by 2.

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{14}{2}\\\\x=7

Hence there are 7 chairs in each row length.

Kisachek [45]

The method that results in more money after 2 years is Peggy's investment.

<h3>Which method results in more money in 2 years?</h3>

The formula for calculating the future value of an investment:

FV = P (1 + r)^nm

  • FV = Future value
  • P = Present value
  • R = interest rate
  • m = number of compounding
  • N = number of years

Future value of Larry's investment: $350 x [1 + (0.04/4)]^(4 x 2) = $379

Future value of Peggy's investment: $350 x [1 + (0.06/12)]^(12 x 2) = $394.51
