suppose you have a total of $4700 to invest in stocks and bonds. you are going to invest x dollars in stocks and y dollars in bo

nds. suppose stocks earn 4.5% and bonds earn 3% and that combined interest earned from both investments after one year is $180. Write a mathematical expression for the total amount of money invested.

The amount invested in stocks is $2600 and the amount invested in bonds is $2100.

The total sum of money I invested is $4700. I invest x in stocks and y in bonds. This can be represented with this equation:

x + y = 4700 equation 1

The total interest I earned is $180. The interest rate on stocks is 4.5% and the interest rate on bonds is 3%. This can be represented with the equation

0.045x + 0.03y = 180 equation 2

These two equations are simultaneous equations and can be solved using the elimination method.

x + y = 4700 equation 1

0.045x + 0.03y = 180 equation 2

The first step is to multiply equation 1 by 0.045

0.045 + 0.045y = 211.50 equation 3

The second step is to subtract equation 2 from 3

31.50 = 0.015y

Divide both sides by y

y = $2100

To determine the value of x, substitute for x in equation 1

x + $2100 = $4700

x = $4700 - $2100

x = $2600

X=2h, y=3k

Substitute these values into equations.

y+2x = 4 ------> 3k+2*2h=4 ----->  3k +4h =4

2/y - 3/2x = 1-----> 2/3k -3/(2*2h) = 1 ------> 2/3k - 3/4h =1

We have a system of equations now.

 3k +4h =4          ------> 3k = 4-4h ( Substitute 3k in the 2nd equation.)
2/3k - 3/4h =1

2/(4-4h) -3/4h = 1
2/(2(2-2h)) - 3/4h = 1
1/(2-2h) -3/4h - 1=0

4h/4h(2-2h) -3(2-2h)/4h(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h)/4h(2-2h) =0

(4h- 3(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h))/4h(2-2h) = 0
Numerator should be = 0
4h- 3(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h)=0

Denominator cannot be = 0
4h(2-2h)≠0

Solve equation for numerator=0
4h- 3(2-2h) - 4h(2-2h)=0
4h - 6+6h-8h+8h² =0
8h² +2h -6=0
4h² + h-3 =0
(4h-3)(h+1)=0
4h-3=0, h+1=0
h=3/4  or h=-1

Check which
4h(2-2h)≠0
1) h= 3/4  , 4*3/4(2-2*3/4)=3*(2-6)= -12 ≠0, so we can use h= 3/4
2)h=-1, 4(-1)(2-2*(-1)) =-4*4=-16 ≠0, so we can use h= -1, also.

h=3/4, then  3k = 4-4*3/4 =4 - 3=1 , 3k =1, k=1/3
h=-1, then  3k = 4-4*(-1) =8 , 3k=8, k=8/3 

So,
if h=3/4, then  k=1/3,
and if h=-1, then  k=8/3 .

zepelin [54]
<span>Ricardo ended up with 18 golf balls. If he lost 4 on the course today, he then had 22 to start with today. This 22 total includes a box of 12 balls he bought today. This means he had 22 - 12 yesterday, making 10. Yesterday he lost 6 while playing. Ricardo had 16 balls to start with.</span>
