4a + 6b= 10 2a - 4b =12 what does 12a=

1 answer:

3 0

4a + 6b = 10
2a - 4b = 12...multiply by -2
----------------
4a + 6b = 10
-4a + 8b = - 24 (result of multiplying by -2)
------------------add
14b = - 14
b = -14/14
b = -1

2a - 4b = 12
2a - 4(-1) = 12
2a + 4 = 12
2a = 12 - 4
2a = 8
a = 8/2
a = 4

so 12a = 12(4) = 48 <==

1. The sample life insurance premium table illustrates the monthly premium for every $25,000 of coverage.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

A. $23
B. 0.997359

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The policy rates in the table are for $25000 of insurance. Lydia wants $100,000 of insurance, which is 4 times the amount quoted in the table. Hence her premium will be 4 times the quoted premium. Her spot in the table is in the age 24–30 row and the Female Non-Smoker column. Lydia's premium will be 4×$3.50, or $14 per month.

She wants 2 times the amount quoted in the table ($50,000) of insurance for her spouse, so the premium will be 2 times that quoted in the table. His spot in the table is in the age Under 24 row and the Male Smoker column. The premium for his insurance will be 2×$4.50, or $9 per month.

The total of the two premiums will be $14 = 9 = $23 per month.
