Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-40x + 8y = -24

3x - 8y = 24

-37x = 0

x = 0

0 + y = -3

y = -3

(0, -3)

Answer:

I will show you how to solve for x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = -3

3x - 8y = 24

You can isolate y in the first equation, and substitute that into the second equation.

so to isolate y in -5x + y = -3, you would add 5x to both sides

this gives you y = 5x - 3

Then substitute this y into the equation below.

3x - 8(5x-3) = 24  (this way, the y variable disappears)

then distribute the 8 into the bracket

3x - 40x + 24 = 24

combine the variables

-37x + 24 = 24

isolate x by moving the constants to one side

-37x = 0

so x = 0

I am not sure if you want the rest, but here it is.

substitute x = 0 into one of the equations.

-5x + y = -3

-5(0) + y = -3

y = -3

Sung Lee invests $5,000 at age 18. He hopes the investment will be worth $20,000 when he turns 25. If the interest compounds con

Temka [501]

Answer:

19.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following formula for continuous compound interest:

A = P * e ^ (i * t)

Where:

A is the final value

P is the initial investment

i is the interest rate in decimal

t is time.

The time can be calculated as follows:

25 - 18 = 7

That is, the time corresponds to 7 years. In addition, A is 20,000 for A and P would be 5,000, we replace:

20000 = 5000 * e ^ (7 * i)

20000/5000 = e ^ (7 * i)

e ^ (7 * i) = 4

ln e ^ (7 * i) = ln 4

7 * i = ln 4

i = (ln 4) / 7

i = 0.198

Which means that the rounded percentage will be 19.8% per year

When is a zero not significant?

fomenos

Answer: A. When it comes after the decimal point, as in 4.000

Step-by-step explanation: If there are no other numbers after the zeros, there is no reason for them to be place holders. Zeros in decimals act as place holders such as in 4.09 or 4.0009. This actually does change the value of the decimal but 4.000 is just the same as a regular old 4. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of 8th graders that signed up = 30

9 dropped out. So the total number 8th graders on board the game

= 30 - 9 = 21

46 2/3 % of the club are 8th graders i.e 21

Let T be the total number of students in the club
