Answer:

x = 12

y = -29

Step-by-step explanation:

Our given equations: x + y = -17 and x - y = 41

Solve for x and substitute.

x = -17 - y

(-17 - y) - y = 41

-17 - 2y = 41

2y = -58

y = -29

Solve for x using y

x + (-29) = -17

x = 12

Carmen deposits $700 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 3% per year. How much interest will she be paid in t
VLD [36.1K]
First we need to find what 3% of 700 is.  We know 10% is 70, 5% is 35, so we need to find out what 3% is.  If you don't know how to calculate percentages of a number, I recommend starting with 10%.  This way you know 10% of the number is 70, so you will also know that 1% of the number is 7.  7 x 3 = 21.  So 3% of 700 is 21.  Since it was over 6 years, we multiply 21 x 6.  That gives us 126.  She will be paid $126 in interest in the first six years.
