Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be Alvin's age and E be Elga's age

A + E = 27

also A + 13 = E

Substitute for A in the first equation

E -13 + E = 27

2E = 40

E = 20, so Elga is 20 years old and Alvin is 7.

Answer: the credit union loaned out $40000 at 6% and $10000 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the

credit union loaned out at the annual rate of 6%.

Let y represent the amount that the

credit union loaned out at the annual rate of 12%.

credit union loaned out $50,000, part at an annual rate of 6% and the rest at an annual rate of 12%. It means that

x + y = 50000

The interest on $x after 1 year would be

6/100 × x = 0.06x

The interest on $y after 1 year would be

12/100 × y = 0.12y

The collected combined interest was $3,600 that year. It means that

0.06x + 0.12y = 3600- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 50000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.06(50000 - y) + 0.12y = 3600

3000 - 0.06y + 0.12y = 3600

- 0.06y + 0.12y = 3600 - 3000

0.06y = 600

y = 600/0.06

y = $10000

x = 50000 - y = 50000 - 10000

x = $40000

Suppose the relationship between x and y is proportional. When x is​ 29, y is 275.5. Find the constant of proportionality of y t
ruslelena [56]
If it’s proportional, then when X is 1, y is 2.6, you get that by dividing 275.5 by 29

so when y is 408.5, x is 156.91

I believe that is correct.

A student evaluated -4 + x for x = 9 1/2 and got an answer of 5 1/2. What might the student have done wrong?
Vikki [24]
-4+x=9.5
x=13.5

The student might have subtracted 9.5-4, which results in the answer 5.5. The correct answer is 13.5.
