Step-by-step explanation:

this is what you are told in the problem

x+y=23............1 (the sum)

x-y=7.................2 (the difference)

PS make sure to number your equations

in equation 1 we can take x over so that we form a new equation labelled equation 3

y=23-x...........3

sub 3 into 2

x-(23-x)=7

x-23+x=7

2x=7+23

2x=30

x=15.........4

sub 4 into 1

15+y=23

y=23-15

y=8

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method:

a.   x + y = 23

     x - y = 7

b.  Adding the 2 equations eliminates y, so we have

     2x = 30

        x = 15.

     Substitute x = 15 in equation a:

      15 + y = 23

         y = 23 - 15

        y =  8.

       Answer x = 15, y = 6.

Tammy deposited $520 in the bank account that earns simple interest every year after 5 years she had earned $156 and interest if
aleksley [76]

Answer:

6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Tammy deposited $520 in the bank account that earns simple interest every year after 5 years she had earned $156.

To find the interest rate we will use simple interest formula.

I=P*r*T

I= Interest.

P= Principal amount.

r=Annual interest rate (in decimal form).

T= Time in years.

We have been given that I=156, T=5, P=520

Upon substituting our values in above formula we will get,

156=520*r*5

156=2600r

r=\frac{156}{2600}

r=0.06

Let us multiply 0.06 by 100 to convert annual interest rate in percentage.

0.06*100=6 \text{ percent}

Therefore, the annual interest rate was 6%.

Line RS bisects PQ at point R. Find RQ if PQ = 4 3/4
svetlana [45]
PQ is bisected by RS at R. It means that PRQ is a line segment with PR = RQ and each of half of PQ.

RQ = PQ/2  =  1/2 [ 4 3/4 ] = 1/2 * 19/4 = <em>19/8 </em> =  2 3/4
