a  =  total amount invested at 5%

b = total amount invested at 8%

we know 5% was earned in interest from "a", so that'd be (5/100) * a or 0.05a.

we know 8% was earned in interest from "b", so that'd be (8/100) * a or 0.08b.

we also know that the total for both is 1000, a + b = 100.

\begin{cases} a + b = 1000\\ 0.05a+0.08b=65 \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{since we know}}{a+b=1000}\implies b = 1000-a \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{0.05a+0.08(100-a)=65}\implies 0.05a+80-0.08a=65 \\\\\\ -0.03a+80=65\implies -0.03a=-15\implies a=\cfrac{-15}{-0.03}\implies \boxed{a = 500} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we know that}}{b = 1000-a}\implies b=1000-500\implies \boxed{b = 500}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  \textbf{\textit{x}} be the amount invested into the account with a 5% annual interest and \textit{\textbf{y}} be the amount invested into the account with an 8% annual interest,

It is stated that Helene invested a total of $1000, which can be written mathematically as

                                         x \ + \ y \ = \ 1000 \ \ \ \text{----- \ (1)}  .

Subsequently, the total amount of interest after 1 year is $65. This statement can be changed into the equation below.

                                      0.05x \ + \ 0.08y \ = \ 65 \ \ \text{----- \ (2)}  .

First, divide each term in equation (2) by 0.05, yields the expression

                                        x \ + \ 1.6y \ = \ 1300 \ \ \text{----- \ (3)}   .

Then, let equation (1) be subtracted from equation (3) term-by-term,

                                (x \ + \ 1.6y ) \ - \ (x \ + \ y) \ = \ 1300 \ - \ 1000 \\ \\ (x \ - \ x) \ + \ (1.6y \ - \ y) \ = \ 300 \\ \\ \-\hspace{3.15cm} 0.6y \ = \ 300 \\ \\ \-\hspace{3.38cm} \displaystyle\frac{3}{5}y \ = \ 300 \\ \\ \-\hspace{3.65cm} y \ = \ 500.

Therefore, the amount invested in each account is $500.

just olya [345]

Answer:

1152$

Step-by-step explanation:

b1 = 7/8 C

b2 = 5/6 b1 = 35/ 48 C

7/8 C + 35/48 C = C + 696

42/48 C + 35/48 C = 48/48 C + 696 * 48/48

(42 + 35 - 48 ) C = 696 * 48

29 C = 33408

C =1152.

Which congruence theorem can be used to prove<br> ABR = RCA?
vivado [14]

Answer: The HL Theorem can be used to prove ABR ≅ RCA because both triangles share the same hypotenuse and a leg. The HL theorem states that If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Answer:

  no feasible solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

There are so many inequalities that determining the area covered by all 5 of them is problematic. Hence, we have reversed all of them in the attached graph, so any feasible solution region would remain white. Alas, there is no such region.

This system of inequalities has <em>no feasible solution</em>.
