Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are variables. That means they represent numbers that are unknown. When we solve for x or y, we are trying to find what number the variable represents.

Y is a number that equals both 5x-9 and 3x+7. If it is a number, it can only have one value, so we can say that 5x-9 and 3x+7 have the same value.

In other words, 5x-9 = 3x+7.

Another way of thinking about this step is substitution. y=3x+7, so in the equation y=5x-9, we can replace the y with 3x+7. It will give 3x+7 = 5x-9.

In either case, we have this new equation

5x-9 = 3x+7.

From here it's just simple algebra- subtract 3x from each side

2x -9 = 7

and add 9 to each side

2x = 16

and divide each side by 2.

x = 8.

All these steps work because if two things equal each other, when you do the same thing to both of them (such as add 9), the new values will still equal each other.

Now that we know that x = 8, we can take one of the original equations

y=5x-9

and put 8 in for x.

y=5*(8) -9.

If x represents the value 8, we can obviously switch out x for 8.

Now simplify

y=40 -9

y = 31

Now we know that x = 8 and y = 31.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$74,600

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the probability is 2.5%, mean=$55,000 and standard deviation= $10,000

-We find the z value of 2.5%

$p=P(z>\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\1.96=P(z$

Hence, the minimum amount of income to be in the top 2.5% is $74,600

If the slope of a line is -1 and two points on the line are (-9, 3) and (-10, r), what is the value of r?

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$r=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of the line is -1.

We also know that the line passes through (-9, 3) and (-10, r).

We want to find the value of r.

First, let's figure out the equation of our line. We can use the point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, let's substitute -1 for m. Since we know the point (-9, 3), let's use this for (x₁, y₁).

Substitute:

$y-(3)=-1(x-(-9))$

Simplify:

$y-3=-(x+9)$

Distribute:

$y-3=-x-9$

Add 3 to both sides. So, our equation is:

$y=-x-6$

It passes through (-10, r) and we want to find the value of r. So, let's substitute -10 for x and r for y, since -10 is our x and r is our y. So:

$r=-(-10)-6$

Evaluate for r. Distribute:

$r=10-6$

Subtract:

$r=4$

So, the value of r is 4.

And we're done!

You have $36,948.61 in a brokerage account, and you plan to deposit an additional $3,000 at the end of every future year until y

Luba_88 [7]

Current amount in account
P=36948.61

Future value of this amount after n years at i=11% annual interest
F1=P(1+i)^n
=36948.61(1.11)^n

Future value of $3000 annual deposits after n years at i=11%
F2=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
=3000(1.11^n-1)/0.11

We'd like to have F1+F2=280000, so forming following equation:
F1+F2=280000
=>
36948.61(1.11)^n+3000(1.11^n-1)/0.11=280000

We can solve this by trial and error.

The rule of 72 tells us that money at 11% deposited will double in 72/11=6.5 years, approximately.
The initial amount of 36948.61 will become 4 times as much in 13 years, equal to approximately 147800 by then.
Meanwhile the 3000 a year for 13 years has a total of 39000. It will only grow about half as fast, namely doubling in about 13 years, or worth 78000.
Future value at 13 years = 147800+78000=225800.
That will take approximately 2 more years, or 225800*1.11^2=278000.

So our first guess is 15 years, and calculate the target amount
=36948.61(1.11)^15+3000(1.11^15-1)/0.11
=280000.01, right on.

So it takes 15.00 years to reach the goal of 280000 years.
