Answer:  

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876

The two numbers: X = 7.777   Y = -2.099

Step-by-step explanation: solve by elimination

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876 . Add the two equations so the y cancels. Solve for x

2x = 15.554 .  Divide both sides by 2

X = 7.777    Substitute in the original equations to find Y

7.777 + y = 5.678 . Subtract 7.777 from both sides

Y = - 2.099

check in the second equation:

7.777 -(-2.099) = 9.876

7.777 + 2.099 = 9.876 <u>True</u>

Suppose that $3000 is placed in an account that pays 16% interest compounded each year. Assume that no withdrawals are made from
Papessa [141]

Answer:

a) $3480

b) $4036.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

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

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Suppose that $3000 is placed in an account that pays 16% interest compounded each year.

This means, respectively, that P = 3000, r = 0.16, n = 1

So

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

A(t) = 3000(1 + \frac{0.16}{1})^{t}

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

(a) Find the amount in the account at the end of 1 year.

This is A(1).

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

A(1) = 3000(1.16)^{1} = 3480

(b) Find the amount in the account at the end of 2 years.

This is A(2).

A(2) = 3000(1.16)^{2} = 4036.8
