Find the coordinates of P(a, b) whose ordinate is twice as much as abscissa and sum of coordinates is -12.

P(- 4, - 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The abscissa is the x- coordinate and the ordinate is the y- coordinate.

Here b = 2a , thus

a + 2a = - 12

3a = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = - 4

and b = 2a = 2 × - 4 = - 8

P(- 4, - 8 )

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
