Answer:

$8,000 at 10%

$12,000 at 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the part invested at 10% = x

Let the part invested at 7% = $20,000 - x

7% = 0.07

10% = 0.10

Hank invested a total of $20,000, part at 7%

0.07(20000 - x)

And part at 10%

0.10(x)

Hence, we have:

0.10x + 0.07(20000 - x) = 1640

0.10x + 1400 - 0.07x = 1640

0.10x - 0.07x = 1640 - 1400

0.03x = 240

x = 240/0.03

x = 8000

Hence, the amount he invested at 10% = $8,000

The amount he invested at 7% =

$20,000 - x

= $20,000 - $8,000

= $12,000

Answer:

The amount invested at 7% is $12,000 while the amount invested at 10% is $8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The total amount Hank invested = $20,000

The interest earned in one year = $1640

Hank invested part of the $20,000 at 7% interest and part of the $20,000 at 10%

Let the part invested at 7% = X and the part invested at 10% = Y, we have;

7% of X + 10% of Y = $1640 which gives;

0.07×X + 0.1×Y = $1640.....................(1)

X + Y = $20,000.................................(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 10 and subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to get;

X + Y - 10×(0.07×X + 0.1×Y) = $20,000 - 10×$1640

X - 0.7·X - Y - Y = $20,000 - $16,400 = $3,600

0.3·X = $3,600

X = $3,600/0.3 = $12,000

X = $12,000

Y = $20,000 - X = $20,000 - $12,000 = $8,000

Y = $8,000

Therefore, the amount invested at 7% = $12,000 and the amount invested at 10% = $8,000.

With cross multiplication you can find that they are the same. In both equations, x would be 100.

If point A is located at (-3,-1) and there are 10 points between A and B, what could be the possible coordinates for point B?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By drawing the point (-3,-1) in the coordinate plane we find the graph shown below. Since there are 10 points between points A and B, we need to start at point A and then we have to move 11 units either to the right, to the left, up, or down .

1. MOVING TO THE RIGHT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the right to come to point B:

(-3+11, -1) = (8, -1)

2. MOVING TO THE LEFT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the left to come to point B:

(-3-11, -1) = (-14, -1)

3. MOVING UPWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically upward to come to point B:

(-3, -1+11) = (-3, 10)

4. MOVING DOWNWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically downward to come to point B:

(-3, -1-11) = (-3, -12)

So this are the basic movements you can get to find point B. You also can move diagonally upwards or downwards  in whose case you would find other four points. The graph below shows a red point which is A, and the other points are in black color and represent B.
