Answer:
0.08x = $5400-0.1x Add 0.1x to both sides of the equation.
0.18x = $5400 Divide both sides by 0.18
x = $3000 and $54000-$3000 = $24000
$3,000 is invested at 8%
$2,400 is invested at 10%

Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Because for dividing one positive and one negative number, the rule is that the answer is going to be negative. So, what you can do is just do 56÷8 which equals 7 then add the negative sign to make it -7.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The salaries are the same. Only the fraction of how much is saved is quite different.
Equation
x ( 9/11 - 7/9) = 1584
Explanation: The salary amount is x. The fractional amounts saved are also given. You have to take the difference because one of the people saves more than the other.
The amount that is more is 1584.
Solution
9/11 = 0.8182
7/9 = 0.7778
9/11 - 7/9 = 0.8182 - 0.7778 = 0.0404
Put that into the equation.
x(0.0404) = 1584 Divide by 0.0404)
x(0.0404) = 1584/0.0404
answer:x = 39204
