Answer: $x=7, \ y=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equations are $3x-y=23$ and $2x+3y=8$

take $3x-y=23$

$y=3x-23$

Put the value of y in another equation

$\Rightarrow 2x+3(3x-23)=8\\\Rightarrow 2x+9x-69=8\\\Rightarrow 11x=77\\\Rightarrow x=7$

Put the value of x in y

$y=3(7)-23=21-23=-2$

Hence, $x=7, \ y=-2$

Answer:

a) 13913

b) 4913.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

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

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Investment of 9000, so $P = 9000$
