Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number
CK
8+15+62=85
85=85
If you're asking how to simplify, then this is how you do it.
when a power meets another power but in brackets, then you have to multiply the powers. ¼ × 4 would be 1. i simplified 81 to 3⁴.
Let x represent amount invested in the higher-yielding account.
We have been given that a man puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. So amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be
.
We are also told that his annual interest is $6600 dollars. We know that annual interest for one year will be principal amount times interest rate.
, where,
I = Amount of interest,
P = Principal amount,
r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,
t = Time in years.
We are told that interest rates are 6% and 10%.


Amount of interest earned from lower-yielding account:
.
Amount of interest earned from higher-yielding account:
.

Let us solve for x.



Therefore, the man invested $30,000 at 10%.
Amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be
.
Therefore, the man invested $60,000 at 6%.
20% of 16 which is. 10%=1.6 and another that would = 3.12
