Let x represent the amount invested in the account paying 5% interest per year. 
Let y represent the amount invested in the GIC paying 7.2% interest. 
x + y = $5,000 ⇒ y = $5,000 - x
0.05x + 0.072 = $349 ⇒ (multiply by 1000 to get rid of decimals) ⇒
50x + 72y = $349,000
Then substitute the y equation into the second equation. 
50x + 72 (5,000 - x ) = 349,000
50x + 360,000 - 72x = 349,000
50x - 72x = 349,000 - 360,000
-22x = -11,000 (divide both sides by -22)
x = 500
∴ the amount invested in the account paying 5% interest per year is $500. 
Now solve for y. 
x + y = 5,000
500 + y = 5,000 
y = 5,000 - 500
y = 4,500 
∴ the amount in the GIC paying 7.2% interest is $4,500.

Solve 5c + 4 = -26
mr_godi [17]
<em>1) 5 c + 4 = - 26
5 c = -26 -4
5 c = -30
c = -30 / 5
c = -6    so correct option is B..

2) 3 x - x +2 = 12
2 x +2 = 12
2x = 12-2
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x= 5    so correct option is D

3 ) 3 ( x + 1 )+ 6 = 33
3x + 3 + 6 = 33
3x + 9 = 33
3x = 33-9
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8   so correct option is B

4) y/-6=9
y=9 x -6
y= - 54   there is no such option i guess question is missing

5)(x +  4) /2 = 7
x +4 = 7 x 2
x + 4 = 14
x = 14-4
x = 10  so correct option is D

6)1/3 ( 2x - 8) = 4
2x/ 3 - 8 /3 = 4
2x - 8 / 3 = 4
2x - 8 = 4 x 3
2x - 8 = 12
2x = 12 + 8
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10   so correct option is C

A bowl of fruit is on the table. It contains 5 apples, 2 oranges, and 2 bananas. Christian and Aaron come home from school and r
Sholpan [36]

The probability that both grab oranges would be = \frac{1}{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A bowl contains,

Apples = a = 5

Oranges = o = 2

bananas = b = 2

Total fruits in bowl = x = a + o + b = 5 + 2 + 2 = 9

Now, Christian and Aaron come home from school and randomly grab one fruit each.

The probability of first selecting orange would be = \frac{o}{b} = \frac{2}{9}

Now, the oranges left would be 2 - 1 = 1

and total fruits would be = 9 - 1 = 8

Hence, the probability of selecting second orange would be = \frac{1}{8}

Therefore, the probability that both grab oranges would be = \frac{1}{8} * \frac{2}{9} = \frac{1}{36}
