Answer: 2000
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple interest is calculated as:
(Principal × Rate × Time) / 100
We then slot the value into the formula. This would be:
720 = (P × 6 × 6)/100
720 × 100 = 36P
72000 = 36P
Principal = 72000/36
Principal = 2000
We can use the distributive property to set up an expression that is equal to this problem.
14 times 8 is 112
14 times -6 is -84x
14 times 12 is 168
(If you don't know the distributive property ask and I can explain it)
We can combine that together to get:
112 +168 -84x
Or, condense it further:
280-84x is equivalent to 14(8-6x+12)

Proof 14
Solve the following system:
{2 x - y = -7 | (equation 1)
4 x - y = -4 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
2 x - y = -7 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x - y/2 = -5 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Add equation 2 to equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 3/2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 1.5
y = 10
Proof 15.
Solve the following system:
{5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 1)
8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 2)
Subtract 5/8 × (equation 1) from equation 2:{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 4/13:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 20 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 5 y = 1
