Answer:

p = 2 ; q = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tbe equation :

3p + 2q = 14 - - - (1)

10p + 6q = 44 - - -(2)

What is p and what is q

This is a simultaneous equation ; using elimination method :

Multiply (1) by 6 and (2) by 2

18p + 12q = 84 - - - - (3)

20p + 12q = 88 - - - (4)

Subtract (3) and (4)

-2p = - 4

p = 4/2

p = 2

Put p = 2 in (1)

3p + 2q = 14

3(2) + 2q = 14

6 + 2q = 14

2q = 14 - 6

2q = 8

q = 8/2

q = 4

p = 2 ; q = 4

8000$ is invested in an account the yields 6% interest per year. After how many years will the account worth 13709.60$ if the in

ozzi

Answer:

After 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We are given the following in the question:

P = $8000

r = 6% = 0.046

n = 12

The compound interest is given by:

$A = p\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}$

where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years.

Putting the values, we get,

$13709.60 = 8000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\dfrac{13709.60}{8000} = \bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.7137 = (1.005)^{12t}\\\Rightarrow t \approx 9$

Thus, after 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$
