Answer:
x=5, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
we can find the answer by plugging in x=3y+14 to the second equation
5(3y+14)-2y=31
simplify
15y+70-2y=31
13y=-39
y=-3
now, plug in this to the initial equation x=3y+14
x=3(-3)+14
x=-9+14
x=5
Y=-3
-3=-1.5x
you substitiue y value, then you divide both sides by -1.5 and you get 2 for x.
(2,-3)
y=4.5
4.5=-1.5x
you substitute y value, then again you divide both sides by -1.5 and you get 3.
(3,4.5)
y=6
6=-1.5x
same thing for this last one. then once again divide by -1.5 and you get -4.
(-4,6)
Lets x and y are 2 accounts Paige invested
x account invested with annual interest rate 8.5%
y account invested with annual interest rate 10%
x + y =<span>15,250 so x = 15,250 - y
0.085x + 0.1y = </span><span>1,411.75
substitute </span>x = 15,250 - y into 0.085x + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.085x + 0.1y = 1411.75
0.085(15,250 - y) + 0.1y = 1,411.75
1,296.25 - 0.085y + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.015y = 115.5
y = 7,700
x = 15,250 - y
x = x = 15,250 - 7,700
x = 7,550
answer
$7,550 invested on account with annual interest rate 8.5%
$7,700 invested on account with annual interest rate 10%
