Answer:

$3138 at 13%
9613 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 13%. Then (3x+199) is the amount invested at 12%. The total interest earned in 1 year is ...

(13%)(x) +(12%)(3x+199) = 1561.50

0.49x +23.88 = 1561.50 . . . . simplify

0.49x = 1537.62 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 23.88

x = 3138 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.49

3x+199 = 9613

$3138 was invested at 13%; $9613 was invested at 12%.

What is the first step to solve the following system of equations using substitution?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

Thus, option A) is true.

The solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that when we solve the system of equations, the first step we need to do is to solve one of the equations for one of the variables.

Given the system of equations

$x - y = -1$

$2x - y = 3$

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

$x-y=-1$

Add y to both sides

$x-y+y=-1+y$

$x=-1+y$

Thus, option A) is true.

<u>NOW LET US SOLVE THE REMAINING PORTION</u>

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-1+y$ to solve for y

$\begin{bmatrix}2\left(-1+y\right)-y=3\end{bmatrix}$

$-2+y=3$

$y=5$

For x = -1 + y

substitute y = 5

$x=-1+5$

$x=4$

Thus, the solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$

nevsk [136]

Answer:

$ 5.98

Step-by-step explanation:

20/100 × 22.42/1 = $ 4.48

$ 22.42 - $ 4.48 = $ 17.94

If they split that bill in two each would pay $ 5.98

The adult height of a male is about 1.19 times his height at age 12. The adult height of a female is about 1.07 times her height

marissa [1.9K]

If you are 12 years old, just measure your own height, then multiply your height by 1.19 if you’re a male, or 1.07 if you’re a female.

The regular price rounded to the nearest cent

Daniel [21]

Answer:

$189.43

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original price, write a proportion. In your proportion, write one ration that has sale price over original price. The other ratio should be written with the corresponding percent values. Since the sale price is 65% off then you paid 35% of the regular the price. The proportion should be:

$\frac{66.30}{x}= \frac{35}{100}$

To solve cross multiply numerator and denominator of each fraction.

66.30(100) = x(35)

6630 = 35x

189.43 = x

This means the regular price is $189.43.
