10x + 3y = 72
9x + 3y = 66

The answers you are looking for are x = 6 and y = 4.

For these 2 equations, you would subtract the second one into the first one. This is so the y's cancel out temporarily, and so we can solve for x.

(10x + 3y = 72) - (9x + 3y = 66) = (x = 6).

Now, to find the y value, you take 6 and fill it in for x in one of the equations. I chose to use (10x + 3y = 72). The equation now says 10 * 6 + 3y = 72.

10 * 6 = 60. (60 + 3y = 72)

60 - 60 = 0 and 72 - 60 = 12. (3y = 12)

3y ÷ 3 = y and 12 ÷ 3 = 4 (y = 4)

Thus meaning your answers are x = 6 and y = 4. Here's a photo to show how i solved it as well.

I hope this helps!

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)
