Answer:

t = 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the simple interest formula: i = prt, where p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and is the elapsed time, in years.

Here we want to know how long it will take for the interest alone to reach $449.40. We first solve i = prt for t, obtaining t = i/(pr).

Here, the length of time is t = ($449.40) / (0.06*$1498.00). This works out to

t = 5.9947, or approximately 6 years.

t = 6 years

Which system of linear inequalities is graphed?

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph lines as if the inequalities were equal signs.

X = -3 is a vertical line at x = -3, because it's less than we shade to the left. All numbers less than -3 are to the left. The line is dashed because there is no equal to. Only less than. The line is not included in the solution set.

y = -x - 1 is a line with a y-intercept of -1 and a slope of -1. All values that are less that y are below the line. Because it's less than or equal to the line is solid.
