Set up the equation:

Let x be the number of weeks before they weigh the same.

148+2x=193-x

solve:

148+2x=193-x
3x=45
x=15

therefore: it will take 15 weeks until they weigh the same.

The formula A equals =P left parenthesis 1 plus r right parenthesis squared (1+r)2 gives the amount A in dollars that P dollars
vlabodo [156]
The interest rate is 3.5%.

EXPLANATION

We substitute the given values into the formula;

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t

to obtain

6427.35=6000(1+\frac{r}{100})^2

We divide through by 6000 to obtain,

\frac{6427.35}{6000}=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2

This implies that,

1.071225=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2

We take the square root of both sides,

\sqrt{1.071225}=(1+\frac{r}{100})

This gives us,

1.035=(1+\frac{r}{100})

Add -1 to both sides of the equation to obtain

0.035=\frac{r}{100}

Multiply through by 100 to obtain;

r=3.5%

Therefore the rate is 3.5%

Solve the following system using the substitution method.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
X = (15 - 8y)/9

-5[(15 - 8y)/9] + 12y = -107

(-75/9) + (40/9) + 12y = -107

y = -8.59

x = [15 - 8(-8.59)]/9

x = 9.3
(x,y) = (9.3, -8.59)
