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

What is the equation for this line

pogonyaev

The equation of the line is $y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}$ .

Solution:

The points on the line are (–6, –3) and (4, –5).

$x_{1}=-6, y_{1}=-3, x_{2}=4, y_{2}=-5$

Slope of the line:

$$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$$m=\frac{-5-(-3)}{4-(-6)}$

$$m=\frac{-5+3}{4+6}$

$$m=\frac{-2}{10}$

$$m=\frac{-1}{5}$

Point-slope formula:

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

$$y-(-3)=\frac{-1}{5}(x-(-6))$

$$y+3=\frac{-1}{5}(x+6)$

$$y+3=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{6}{5}$

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$$y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}$

The equation of the line is $y=\frac{-1}{5} x-\frac{21}{5}$ .

An amount of 25,000 is borrow for 15 years at 5.5% interest, compounded annually. If the loan is paid in full at the end of that

Airida [17]

Answer: $55,811.91$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principal amount is 25,000

Time Period is $t=15\ yr$

Rate of interest $r=5.5\%$

Amount in compound interest is given by

$\Rightarrow A=P\left(1+r\%\right)^t$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow A=25,000(1+\dfrac{5.5}{100})^{15}\\\\\Rightarrow A=25,000(1.055)^{15}\\\Rightarrow A=55,811.91$

Therefore, $55,811.91$ must be paid back
