Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(-6-3x)+8=83

Distribute the -5 to both terms in the parentheses by multiplication, multiply the -5 by the -6 and the -3x.

30+15x+8=83

Add like terms, add the 30 and the 8.

38+15x=83

Subtract 38 from both sides to isolate the x on the left side.

15x=45

Divide by 15 on both sides to solve for x.

x=3

Dimas [21]

Answer:

$2400 in A rated bond and $3000 in B rated bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Maria has recently retired and requested an extra $444.00 per year in income.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$A+B=5400...(1)$

She has $5400 to invest in an A-rated bond that pays 10% per annum or a B-rated bond paying 6% per annum.

$0.10A+0.06B=444...(2)$

From equation (1), we will get:

$A=5400-B$

Substitute this value in equation (2):

$0.10(5400-B)+0.06B=444$

$540-0.10B+0.06B=444$

$540-0.04B=444$

$540-540-0.04B=444-540$

$-0.04B=-96$

$\frac{-0.04B}{-0.04}=\frac{-96}{-0.04}$

$A=2400$

Therefore, Maria should invest $2400 in A-rated bond.

Substitute $A=2400$ in equation (1):

$2400+B=5400$

$2400-2400+B=5400-2400$

$B=3,000$

Therefore, Maria should invest $3000 in B-rated bond.
