Answer:
(-1/2, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the elimination by adding or subtracting method. Note that we have 8y in the first equation, and that we could obtain -8y in the second equation by multiplying the second equation by 2:
2(24x - 4y = -15) => 48x - 8y = -30
Now combine this result (this equation) with the first equation:
2x + 8y = 5
+48x -8y = -30
---------------------
50x = - 25
Dividing both sides by 50, to isolate x, we get
x = -25/50 = -1/2.
Now substitute -1/2 for x in the first equation and solve the resulting equation for y:
2x + 8y = 5
2(-1/2) + 8y = 5, or -1 + 8y = 5, or 8y = 6 (after having added 1 to both sides)
Dividing both sides of 8y = 6 by 8 leads to determining the value of y:
y = 6/8 = 3/4
The solution is (-1/2, 3/4).
Answer:
The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000
The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5%
y ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3%
we know that
----> ----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
substitute equation A in equation B
Solve for x
<em>Find the value of y</em>
therefore
The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000 and the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800
Answer:
