Apples = $.30
Peaches = $.60
You can get this by setting up a system of equations that looks like this.
2x + 3y = 1.65
3x + 2y = 1.60
Where x is the amount of apples and y is the number of peaches. Then you can solve using any of the methods (I would suggest elimination for ease).
Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
The "compound amount" formula is A = P(1+r/n)^(nt),
where P=original investment, r=interest rate as a decimal fraction; n=number of compounding periods, and t=number of years.
Then A = $12000 * (1+0.08/2)^(2*11)
= $12000(1.04)^(22) = $28,439.03 (answer)
