Answer:

Smaller number = x

Bigger number = x +32

Why? -- the difference of the numbers is 32, this also means that one number is 32 greater than the other.

x + x+32 = 136

2x +32 = 136

2x = 104

x = 104/2

x = 52

----> The smaller number is 52 <-----

We can check by solving for the bigger number.

Bigger number = x+32

x = 52

52 + 32 = 84

Bigger number = 84

Bigger number + Smaller number = 136

84 + 52 = 136

A man borrowed $3700 from a bank for 6 months. A friend was co-signer of the mans personal note. The bank collected 8.5% simple

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

(A) $157.25

(B) $3,857.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Principle (P)

= $3700

Time (T)

= 6 months i.e., 1/2 years

Rate (R)

= 8.5%

(A)

As we know,

Simple Interest,

⇒ $SI=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$

On putting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{3700\times 8.5\times \frac{1}{2} }{100}$

⇒ $=\frac{15,725}{100}$

⇒ $=157.25$ ($) (he paid for the use of money)

(B)

Amount he paid to the bank will be:

⇒ $P+SI$

⇒ $3700+157.25$

⇒ $3,857.25$ ($)

Suppose the graph of y= x^2 translated left 2 units, and up 8 units

Elis [28]

Start with y = x2

Shift 2 units left to get y = (x+2)2

Vertically stretch to get y = 6(x+2)2

Reflect across x-axis to get y = -6(x+2)2

Shift 7 units down to get y = -6(x+2)2 - 7

hope this helps!
