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.

use the method of successive differences to determine the next term in the sequence: 4, 14, 82, 268, 657, 1359
IRISSAK [1]
The method of successive differences uses subtraction to the one number to the next and the process goes on until the difference settles constant which is not equal to zero. In this case, the constant difference reaches 25. Reversing the process to get the next term, the answer is 2509.
