X=y-2
2y=5x-17
Substituting for x into the second equation, we find
2y=5(y-2)-17
2y=5y-10-17
-3y=-27
y=9
So x=7
Thus, the two numbers are 7 and 9.
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
0.8=0.8/1=8/10=4/5
not one of them
but,
2/9=0.2222222222
4/9=0.444444444444
7/9=0.7777777777
8/9=0.88888888888
I think you meant 0.8 repeating so
answer is D
Using a system of equations, it is found that the correct option is:
A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, considering the amounts in each olympics(1389 men and 787 women participated on the 19th, 1660 men and 1121 women in the 22th), the system is:
A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.
