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.
When x=0, y=-8, so that is the y-intercept.
When x increases by 1, y decreases by 2, so the slope is -2.
The equation of the function is
.. y = -2x -8
X would equal -9
Because -9 times -2 equals 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
diameter/2 = radius
12/2 = radius
radius = 6
The outer edge means you are measuring the circumference of the pizza.
Circumference = 2(pi)(radius)
Circumference = 2(pi)(6)
You are only finding 1/8 of the circumference
Therefore you are multiplying the circumference by 1/8
Length of 1 slice = (1/8)((2)(pi)(6)) = (12/8)(pi) = (3/2)(pi) = (3(pi)) / (2) or 4.71 inches
