Question

PLEASE HELP ME! THIS ASSIGNMENT WAS DUE YESTERDAY!!

Answer 1

Answer:

700$ at 2% 800$ at 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=1500 This is because the total is 1500 dollars into 2 different accounts, x and y.

0.02x+0.04y=44 This is because it says 2 percent interest in one account and 4 percent in the other, and the totals add up to 44 dollars.

Now use elimination method.

x+y=1500(-0.02)=-0.02x+-0.02y=-30

0.02x+0.04y=44

Now you end up with 0.02y=14, solve for y and you get 700. That's the value of y which now you can then subtract from 1500 and get 800 which is the value of x.
