Mr. Graham invested some of his $18,000
in bonds that made a 5% profit and the
rest in bonds that made a 12% profit. If
the profit on the 12% bonds was $885
more than the profit on the 5% bonds,
how much did Mr. Graham invest in the
5% bonds?

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

6 cars because if you have 8 and subtract 2 youll have 6 left over
