Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You really don't have enough information to solve this with one answer. You want a value for y and there is no what to limit it to just 1 set of values. For example if x = 23 then
x = y + y - 3
x = 2y - 3
23 = 2y - 3 Add three to both sides
23+3 = 2y Combine
26 = 2y Divide by 2
26/2 = 2y/2 Do the division
13 = y
The smaller number is 13 - 3 = 10
Their sum is 13 + 10=23 But that answer is not unique.
====================
Suppose x = 13
13 = 2y - 3 Add 3
13 + 3 = 2y
16 = 2y
y =8
The larger number = 8
The smaller number = 5
=======================
The best I can do is give you the equation which is
x = 2y - 3
4 x 1,151.65 = 4,606.60
<span>This is invested in two accounts. Twenty-five percent is invested in savings (4,606.60 x 25% = 1,151.65). The remainder is invested in a CD (4,606.60 - 1,151.65 = 3,454.95) </span>
<span>Interest accrued for savings. *Note: The interest rates given are for a full year, but you want to calculate interest for only 60 days. </span>
<span>1,151.65 x 0.033 x 60/360 = $6.33 </span>
<span>Interest accrued for CD </span>
<span>3,454,95 x 0.043 x 60/360 = $24.76 </span>
<span>Total interest accrued </span>
<span>6.33 + 24.76 = $31.09 </span>
<span>Note: 0.033 and 0.043 = 3.3% and 4.3%. Also, the 360 day year is normally used when doing these types of problems.</span>
