11, add six and a half to four and a half.
Use the formula I = Prt. Plug $2300 into P.
Plug 7.5% (decimal form is 0.075) into r.
Plug 10 into t.
Your simple interest after 10 years is $1725
So in this case, the solution is where the graphs intersect. Put the equations in y-intercept form.
-4x+y=-6
y=4x-6
8x-2y=14
-2y=14-8x
y=4x-7
These lines have the same slope, which is 4. Therefore, they are parallel. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is NO SOLUTION.
