Answer:

x = 14 and y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to this problem, we plug in the values of x and y from each answer choice and simplify.

(11) + (9) = 20. 20 = 20.
(11) - (9) = 20. 2 ≠ 8.

(9) + (11) = 20. 20 = 20
(9) - (11) = 20. -2 ≠ 8.

(14) + (6) = 20. 20 = 20.
(14) - (6) = 8. 8 = 8.

(6) + (14) = 20. 20 = 20
(6) - (14) = 8. -8 ≠ 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 14 and y = 6.

Find the simple interest earned in an account with $300 at 5% annual interest for 7 years.

Fiesta28 [93]

Option A

The simple interest earned is $ 105

Solution:

Given that, $300 at 5% annual interest for 7 years

Therefore,

Principal = $ 300

Rate of interest = 5 %

Number of years = 7

The simple interest is given by formula:

$Simple\ Interest = \frac{p \times n \times r }{100}$

Where,

p is the principal

r is the rate of interest

n is the number of years

Substituting the values in formula,

$Simple\ Interest = \frac{300 \times 7 \times 5 }{100}\\\\Simple\ Interest = 3 \times 7 \times 5\\\\Simple\ Interest = 105$

Thus simple interest earned is $ 105

How do you solve 7.5=x+3/2

labwork [276]

7.5 = x + $\frac{3}{2}$ equals x = 6.

First, subtract $\frac{3}{2}$ from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7.5 - $\frac{3}{2}$ = x.
Second, simplify 7.5 - $\frac{3}{2}$ to 6. / Your problem should look like: 6 = x.
Third, switch sides. / Your problem should look like x = 6, which is your answer.
