Answer:

The system of equations best represents the situation

x + y = 17,000.... Equation 1

0.025x + 0.065y = 550... Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x represent the amount of money invested in the first account and

y represent the amount of money invested in the second account.

We are told that:

Tyrone had $17,000 to invest.

Hence,

x + y = $17,000

x + y = 17,000..... Equation 1

We also known that:

He invested part of that amount at 2.5% annual interest for one year and the other part at 6.5% annual interest for one year. The amount of interest earned for both investments was $550

The formula for Interest =

Principal(Amount invested) × Rate × Time.

Hence:

25% × x + 6.5% × y = 550

0.025x + 0.065y = 550... Equation 2

The system of equations best represents the situation

x + y = 17,000.... Equation 1

0.025x + 0.065y = 550... Equation 2

lukranit [14]
Hi there. 

All we have to do to find out how many people like the plan is multiplication.

We multiply the total number of people by 60% - in decimal form.

600 · 0.6 = 360

360 people liked the plan.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

check: 50+160+130+20 = 360

50:160 = 5 : 16

Step-by-step explanation:et the smaller of the unknown angles be 5x and the larger of the two be 16x

so 130+20+5x+16x = 360

21x = 210

x = 10

so the two missing angles are 50° and 160°

check: 50+160+130+20 = 360

50:160 = 5 : 16
