Answer:

<h3>8 and 13</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

If the two numbers differs by 5, then;

y-x = 5 ...1

x is the smaller

y is the larger

If seven times the smaller plus four times the larger is 108, this is expressed as;

7x + 4y = 108 ... 2

From 1;

y = 5 + x .... 3

Substitute 3 into 2;

From 2;

7x + 4y = 108

7x + 4(5+x) = 108

7x + 20 + 4x = 108

11x + 20 = 108

11x = 108-20

11x = 88

x = 88/11

x = 8

Since y = 5+x

y = 5 + 8

y = 13

hence the numbers are 8 and 13

Answer:
Y= -4 :)

Steps:
Apply rule
-y + 3 = 7
Subtract 3 from both sides
-y + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3
Simplify
-y = 4
Divide both sides by -1
-y/-1 = 4/-1
Simplify
y = -4

A bank loaned out $68,000, part of it at the rate of 13% per year and the rest at a rate of 5%per year. If the interest received
marin [14]

Answer: $31000 was loaned at 13%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount loaned out at 13% interest rate.

Let y represent the amount loaned out at 5% interest rate.

The bank loaned out $68,000, part of it at the rate of 13% per year and the rest at a rate of 5%per year. It means that

x + y = 68000

The interest received made from $x in one year is

13/100 × x = 0.13x

The interest received made from $y in one year is

5/100 × x = 0.05y

If the interest received was $5880, it means that

0.13x + 0.05y = 5880- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 68000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.13(68000 - y) + 0.05y = 5880

8840 - 0.13y + 0.05y = 5880

- 0.13y + 0.05y = 5880 - 8840

- 0.08y = - 2960

y = - 2960/- 0.08

y = 37000

x = 68000 - y = 68000 - 37000

x = $31000
