The equation would be .05x+50=100 Then you would solve for x
X=invested at 10%12000-x=invested at 15% .10x+ (.15)(12000-x)=1440 ;; 12% of the total amount is 12% of $12000. .10x + 1800-.15x=1440
-0.05x=-360x=7200 12000-x=4800 $7200 at 10%=$720$4800 at 15%=$720 That is $12000 earning $1440, and that is 12%
Let x = amount of time the Arlen family must catch up to
overtake the Harris family
In principle, the Harris and the Arlen family should cover
the same distance. Since distance is speed x time,
45 (6+y) = 58y
270 + 45y = 58y
58y - 45y = 270
y = 270 ÷ 13
y= 20.77min
