\bold{\huge{\pink{\underline{ Solution }}}}

\bold{\underline{ Given }}

  • <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>given </u><u>two </u><u>linear </u><u>equations </u><u>that</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>3y </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>3y </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

\bold{\underline{ To \: Find }}

  • <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x </u><u>and </u><u>y </u><u>by </u><u>elimination </u><u>method</u><u>. </u>

\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin }}

\sf{ 2x - 3y = -6 ...eq(1)}

\sf{ x +  3y = 12 ...eq(2)}

<u>Multiply </u><u>eq(</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>by </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf{ 2( x + 3y = 12 )}

\sf{ 2x + 6y = 24 }

<u>Subtract </u><u>eq(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>from </u><u>eq(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf{ 2x + 6y -( 2x - 3y) = 24 -(-6)}

\sf{ 2x + 6y - 2x + 3y = 24 + 6 }

\sf{   9y = 30 }

\sf{   y = 30/9}

\sf{\red{ y = 10/3}}

<u>Now</u><u>, </u><u> </u><u>Subsitute</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>y </u><u>in </u><u>eq(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf{ 2x - 3(10/3) = -6 }

\sf{ 2x - 10 = -6 }

\sf{ 2x  = -6 + 10}

\sf{ x  = 4/2}

\sf{\red{ x  = 2}}

Hence, The value of x and y is 2 and 10/3

Answer:

$2000 was invested at 5% and $5000 was invested at 8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the interest is simple interest.

<u>Simple Interest Formula</u>

I = Prt

where:

  • I = interest earned.
  • P = principal invested.
  • r = interest rate (in decimal form).
  • t = time (in years).

Given:

  • Total P = $7000
  • P₁ = principal invested at 5%
  • P₂ = principal invested at 8%
  • Total interest = $500
  • r₁ = 5% = 0.05
  • r₂ = 8% = 0.08
  • t = 1 year

Create two equations from the given information:

\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad \sf P_1+P_2=7000

\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad \sf P_1r_1t+P_2r_2t=I\implies 0.05P_1+0.08P_2=500

Rewrite Equation 1 to make P₁ the subject:

\implies \sf P_1=7000-P_2

Substitute this into Equation 2 and solve for P₂:

\implies \sf 0.05(7000-P_2)+0.08P_2=500

\implies \sf 350-0.05P_2+0.08P_2=500

\implies \sf 0.03P_2=150

\implies \sf P_2=\dfrac{150}{0.03}

\implies \sf P_2=5000

Substitute the found value of P₂ into Equation 1 and solve for P₁:

\implies \sf P_1+5000=7000

\implies \sf P_1=7000-5000

\implies \sf P_1 = 2000

$2000 was invested at 5% and $5000 was invested at 8%.
