What is the value of x in the system of equations below?

A combined total of 39000 is invested in two bonds that pay 5% and 6.5% simple interest. The annual interest is 235500 how much

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$12000 at 5%

$27000 at 6.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent amount invested at 5% and y represent amount invested at 6.5%.

We have been given that a combined total of 39000 is invested in two bonds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$x+y=39000...(1)$

We are also told that the annual interest rate is 2355.00. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$0.05x+0.065y=2355...(2)$

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

$0.05x+0.065(39000-x)=2355$

$0.05x+2535-0.065x=2355$

$-0.015x+2535=2355$

$-0.015x=2355-2535$

$-0.015x=-180$

$\frac{-0.015x}{-0.015}=\frac{-180}{-0.015}$

$x=12000$

Therefore, an amount of $12,000 is invested at 5%.

Upon substituting $x=12000$ in equation (1), we will get:

$12000+y=39000$

$y=39000-12000$

$y=27000$

Therefore, an amount of $27,000 is invested at 6.5%.

Simplify the following expressing. Show your work and explain each step. 7-(5-3(2+6(2^2)))

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

7-(5-3(2+6(2^2)))

When a question has multiple signs, the rule of BODMAS is used. That is, Bracket Of Division Multiplication Addition and Subtraction. The question above will therefore be solved in that order.

The first bracket, we have 2^2

That gives 4

Rewriting the question will give

7-(5-3(2+6(4)))

The question in the next bracket will follow

(2+6(4))

In this bracket too, we have the plus sign and the multiplication sign, so the multiplication will first be solved, them addition will follow.

(2+24)

(26)

Rewriting the question again, we have

7-(5-3(26))

And then, we have the last bracket

(5-3(26))

But we have both the Subtraction sign and the Multiplication sign in this bracket also, so the multiplication will first be solved, before the Subtraction.

(5-3(26))

(5-78)

(-73)

And lastly we have

7-(-73)

7+73

A chef is going to use a mixture of two brands of Italian dressing. The first brand contains 8% vinegar, and the second brand co

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

76 mL of 8% and 304 mL of 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a table like this (this is the same table for any mixture problem):

mL total * % vinegar = % vinegar/mL

8%

13%

total %

What you do with this table is multiply the first 2 columns and they equal the last column. We already know the middle column's entries from what we are given. But remember that a percent needs to be expressed as a decimal:

mL total * % vinegar = % vinegar/mL

8% .08

13% .13

total %

Now we also know that the total he wants to make is 380 mL that is 12%, so all that info goes into the last row:

mL total * % vinegar = % vinegar/mL

8% .08

13% .13

total % 380 .12

If he wants this total mixture to come from the 8% and the 13% vinegars, he is mixing them together, or adding them. We need to know how much 8% + how much 13% will give us 380 mL of 12%. So we can fill in the amounts accordingly. If he has x mL of 8%, then he will have 380 - x of 13%. The table tells us that we are multiplying the first 2 columns to get the third, so we will do that at the same time:

mL total * % vinegar = % vinegar/mL

8% x * .08 = .08x

13% 380 - x * .13 = .13(380 - x)

total % 380 * .12 = 45.6

Since we are adding the different vinegars together to get the total, we can do that with the last column as well. This is our equation:

.08x + .13(380 - x) = 45.6 Multiply everything through by 100 to get rid of the decimals now:

8x + 13(380 - x) = 4560 and

8x + 4940 - 13x = 4560 and

-5x = -380 so

x = 76

This means that there is 76 mL of 8% and 380 - 76 = 304 mL of 13%

2564.0 millimeters tall. If the boards are too long they must be trimmed, and if the boards are too short they cannot be used. A

Leokris [45]

Answer:

We conclude that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 26 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2559.5 millimeters with a standard deviation of 15.0.

Let $\mu$ = population mean length of the board.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ = 2564.0 millimeters {means that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ $\neq$ 2564.0 millimeters {means that the boards are either too long or too short}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s }{\sqrt{n}} }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean length of boards = 2559.5 millimeters

s = sample standard deviation = 15.0 millimeters

n = sample of boards = 26

So, the test statistics = $\frac{2559.5-2564.0}{\frac{15.0 }{\sqrt{26}} }$ ~ $t_2_5$

= -1.529

The value of t-test statistics is -1.529.

Now, at a 0.05 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.06 and 2.06 at 25 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters.

Find the value of n in 2m-3n = 6 and 2m + 6n = 12.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

n = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2m - 3n = 6

– 2m + 6n = 12

____-____-___

-9n = -6

n = -6/-9

n = 2/3

Hence, the value of n in the given equations is 2/3.
