x*(1.035) + (4,200-x)*(1.045) = 4,374.00
1.035x + 4,389.00 -1.045x = 4,374.00
15.00 = .01x
x = 1,500 so x (1,500) invested at 3.5% and
(4,200 - 1,500) (or 2,700) invested at 4.5%
Answer:
x-5=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
|x-5|+2=5
|x-5|=5-2
|x-5|=3
x-5=±3
so x-5=-3 is a correct step.
0.95c
100% minus 5% is 95%, or 0.95. This means Sally only has to pay 0.95 times the grocery bill, or c, which represents 0.95c.
