Answer:

Let x be the number of pencils Steve bought.

Let y be the number of erasers Steve bought.

x=y+5

0.1x + 0.25y = 1.55

Solving the system, our answer is: (8, 3)

So, she bought 3 erasers.

Let me know if this helps!

Use the appropriate compound interest formula to compute the balance in the account after the stated period of time 24,000 is in

VLD [36.1K]

We know the compound interest formula is given by

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

Now, we have been given that 24,000 is invested for 2 years with an APR of 6% and daily compounding. Thus, we have

$P= 24,000\\
\\
t=2\\
\\
r=0.06\\
\\
n=365$

On substituting these values in the above formula for the compound interest, we get

$A=24000\left ( 1+\frac{0.06}{365} \right )^{365\cdot 2}\\
\\
\text{On solving this, we get}\\
\\
A=27059.7$

Therefore, the balance in the account after 2 years is 27059.7

The width of Maya’s poster is 2 inches shorter than the length. The graph models the possible area (y) of Maya’s poster determin

Serhud [2]

You know that the length is 2 more than the width. If z is the width then y = z(z+2). I don't see the graph so you will have to scan and look for that y-z relationship.
