Answer:

it takes approximately 11 years and 3 months (11.4 years) for Belinda's investments to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it takes for Belinda's money to double, we will use the simple interest formula as shown below:

Simple interest = P × R × T

where:

P = principal = $800

R = Rate in decimal = 8.75% = 0.0875

T = time = ???

simple interest = $800 ( her money doubles)

∴ 800 = 800 × 0.0875 × t

800 = 70 × t

∴ t = 800 ÷ 70 = 11.4 years. (11 years and 3 months)

Therefore after approximately 11 years and 3 months, Belinda's investments doubles

The product of two number is 20 and the sum of square is 41 find the number

Marianna [84]

Let the two number is a and b

so,

product =ab=20

sum of square= $\bold{a^2+b^2=41 }$

Then,

$\bold{(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab }$

$\bold{ (a+b)^2=41+2×40 }$

$\bold{ (a+b)^2=81 }$

$\bold{a+b=\sqrt{81} }$

$\bold{a+b=9 }$ •••••••••(equation I)

Now,

$\bold{(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-4ab }$

$\bold{ (a-b)^2=41-4×20 }$

$\bold{(a-b)^2=41-40 }$

$\bold{a-b=\sqrt{1} }$

$\bold{a-b=1 }$ ••••••••(equation II)

Now,combine the equation I and equation II

we,get

$\bold{a+b+a-b=9+1 }$

$\bold{a+\cancel{b}+a\cancel{-b}=10 }$

$\bold{ 2a=10 }$

$\bold{a=\dfrac{10}{2} }$

$\blue{\boxed{ a=5 }}$

Then,

put the value of a in equation II.

we get that,

$\bold{5-b=1 }$

$\bold{b+1=5 }$

$\bold{b=5-1 }$

$\bold{\boxed{\blue{b=4}} }$

so, 

The two number is 5 and 4.

Answer:

100>=500-15x

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs at least 100, so it's greater than OR equal to 100. He starts with 500 and goes down 15 each week. The x stands for the amount of weeks that are in the school year. Sorry for the terrible formatting on the greater than or equal to.
