Each X and Y in the equations don't have a number in front of them so they are all considered 1.
D = 1*(-1) - 1*(-1) = -1 -1 = -2
The answer is -2
2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y - 14
(Simplify like terms in first half of equation)
3y + 6 = 5y - 14
(Subtract both sides by 3y)
6 = 2y - 14
(Flip)
2y - 14 = 6
(Add both sides by 14)
2y = 20
(Divide both sides by 2)
y=10
Answer:
$ 254.85
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount invested = $ 560
Interest rate = r = 4.8% = 0.048
Time in years = t = 8 years
The formula for compound interest is:

Here,
A is the total amount accumulated after t years. P is the amount invested initially and n is the compounding periods per year. Since in this case compounding is done annually, n will be 1. Using the values in the above formula, we get:

Thus, the total amount accumulated after 8 years will be $ 814.85
The amount of interest earned will be:
Interest = Amount Accumulated - Principal Amount
Interest = $ 814.85 - $ 560 = $ 254.85
By the end of 8 years, $ 254.85 would be earned in interest.
