Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. They are alternate exteriors meaning they are supposed to be the same so you sort the equation like 134+x=130
2. Then you pass 134 both side like ×=130
-134
3. Which will equal :-4
Answers:
- <u>24000 dollars</u> invested at 4%
- <u>18000 dollars</u> was invested at 7%
======================================================
Work Shown:
x = amount invested at 4%
If she invests x dollars at 4%, then the rest (42000-x) must be invested at the other rate of 7%
She earns 0.04x dollars from that first account and 0.07(42000-x) dollars from the second account
This means we have
0.04x+0.07(42000-x)
0.04x+0.07*42000-0.07x
0.04x+2940-0.07x
-0.03x+2940
This represents the total amount of money earned after 1 year.
We're told the amount earned in interest is $2220, so we can say,
-0.03x+2940 = 2220
-0.03x = 2220-2940
-0.03x = -720
x = -720/(-0.03)
x = 24000 dollars is the amount invested at 4%
42000-x = 42000-24000 = 18000 dollars was invested at 7%
----------------------
As a check, we can see that
18000+24000 = 42000
and also
0.04x = 0.04*24000 = 960 earned from the first account
0.07*18000 = 1260 earned from the second account
1260+960 = 2220 is the total interest earned from both accounts combined
This confirms our answers.
Answer:
you did not finish what you were saying
-1 / 7 = x
You need to combine the 2x and 5x then devise the 7x from -1
