A total of $39,000 is being invested in a local bank. The amount invested in stocks is one fourth of the amount invested
in bonds. How much is invested in bonds?
(A) 8,000
(B) 10,000
(C) 31,200
(D) 60,000
(E) 64,000

C

Step-by-step explanation:

b + 1/4b = 39,000

1.25b = 39,000

b = 31,200

answer:     true

step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
