Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Step 2 is incorrect. She added 4 and 2 first, but you are supposed to multiply and divide first. Then she multiplied 6 and 6, which is 36. Then she divided 36 and 2, which is 18, and then she subtracted 7, giving her 11. Step 2 is what threw the whole thing off.
Here is what Sandy should have done.
STEP 1: 6·4+2÷2-7
STEP 2: 24+1-7
STEP 3: 25-7
STEP 4: 18
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
Let's call the two numbers
and
.
Given these variables, we can say:
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

To solve, we can simply substitute
in for
in the second equation and solve.


- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition


- Cross multiplication (
)


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

- Factor left side of the equation

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since
is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus,
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
Answer:
$203.02
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the bank in question compounds interest continuously, the following equation should be used to determine the final balance (B) in April's account:

Where "e" is a mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183, "i" is the interest rate (1.5%) and "t" is the investment time in years (1):


April's balance would be $203.02 after one year.

Answer:
49.65-50.35
Step-by-step explanation:
0.7% of 50 is 0.35. We can find the range by first subtracting that from 50 which is 49.65, then adding it to get 50.35.
