Answer:

B. seven $1 bills and eight $5 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

n = number of $1 bills

m = number of $5 bills

 

Given:

 

n + m = 15

n($1) + m($5) = $47

 

Just solve 2 equations in 2 unknowns n and m:

 

(i)  n + m = 15

(ii) n + 5m = 47

 

Subtract (i) from (ii) and get

 

4m = 32

m = 32/4 = 8

 

Then from (i) get

 

n = 15 - m = 15 - 8 = 7

 

There are 7 $1 bills and 8 $5 bills.

*Given
Total number of bills    - 15
Total value of the bills - $47
Bills                             - $1 and $5

*Solution
Let:
  x - number of $1 bills
  y - number of $5 bills

1. The total number of bills comprising of $1 and $5 bills is 15. Thus, 

                         x + y = 15                                      (EQUATION 1)

2. The total value of the bills is $47. Thus, 
 
                   $1 (x) + $5 (y) = $47                           (EQUATION 2)

3. There are 2 ways to solve this (system of linear equations) mathematically. You can use the elimination method or the substitution method. Using the elimination method to eliminate the variable x... (subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2)

                    1x      +   5y      = 47
                 _
                    <u> x       +     y      = 15</u>
                     0       +   4y      = 32

4. Thus, the value of y, which is the number of $5 bills is, 

                    <u> 4y </u>      =  <u> </u><span><u>32 </u>
</span>                      4              4

                      y       =    8

5. The number of $1 bills (x) can then be solved using either Equations 1 or         2. Using Equation 1 to determine x, 
 
                         x + y = 15    
                               x = 15 - y
                               x = 15 - 8
                               x = 7

From the solution, we have determined that there are 8 pieces of $5 bills and 7 pieces of $1 bills.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets replace x with 3

f(3)= -2(3)^3+3(3+2)=-2*27+15=-54+15=-39

Jolene invests her savings in two bank accounts, one paying 4 percent and the other paying 10 percent simple interest per year.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

<h2>$ 22200 in higher yielding bank and $ 44400 in lower yielding bank</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

       Jolene invests in two bank accounts. The first account gives a 4% interest per year and the second bank gives a 10% interest rate per year.

       She puts twice as much in the lower yielding bank account. Let us denote the amount put in high yielding bank account by x. Lower yielding bank account will have 2x.

       Interest\text{ }per\text{ }year=Principal\times Interest\text{ }rate

Interest from lower yielding bank = \dfrac{4}{100} \times 2x=\dfrac{8x}{100}

Interest from higher yielding bank = \dfrac{10}{100} \times x=\dfrac{10x}{100}

Total Interest per year = $ 3996 = \dfrac{8x}{100} +\dfrac{10x}{100}=\dfrac{18x}{100}

x=22200 \$

∴ Jolene invested $ 22200 in higher yielding bank and $ 44400 in lower yielding bank.

Rx+h=sx-k solve for x
timama [110]
Rx + h = sx - k        Take all with x to the LHS

Rx - sx = -k - h

x(R - s) = - k -h

x =  (-k - h) / (R - s).  Multiply top and bottom by -1.

x =  (k + h) / (s - R)
