Step-by-step explanation:
2.6% at $70,000
3.4% at $83,600 - $70,000
3.4% at $13,600

x = $85,882.40
Set equal to each other
x^2 - 8 = 2x
x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0
Factor
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
x = 4 or x = -2
Plug in 4
y = 2x or y = x^2 - 8
y = 2(4) or y = 4^2 - 8
y = 8
Plug in -2
y = 2x or y = x^2 - 8
y = 2(-2) or y = (-2)^2 - 8
y = -4
There are two solutions
(4, 8) and (-2, -4)
Its 16
a day has 24 hours and 24/3 its 8 wich is 1/3 and if you multiply it by 2 its 2/3 which is 16
Answer:
Plug x-7 in for y, in the bottom equation.
x - 7 = 2 + 2x - 4
x - 7 = 2x - 2
x = 2x + 5
-x = 5
x = -5
