Time invested $9000 one year ago. Part of the money was invested at 6% and the rest at 10%. If the total interested earned was $652.80, how much did Tim invest at each rate?

9000+652.80=9652.8

.06x + .1y = 9652.8

x+y=652.8

Seriously? Just give me a god drat equation to solve. I thought we were done with this garbage. Review questions in sentence form can suck it. I havent done this poo poo in forever... I thought this was 100 series math. :argh:

You set up your equations wrong.

The answer is $2,180 at 10% and $6,180 at 6%.

If a Train C leaves Station A traveling at 53 miles per hour at 3:20pm and Train B leaves station D, 177 miles away traveling in the opposite direction at 191 miles per hour at 4:05pm, how much time until they encounter Train A, which secretly left a Station C at 3:50pm on a course perpendicular to the other two trains, and whose track crosses the C-D line exactly 30% of the way between Stations A and D? Train A's speed is unknown but if it were leaving station D at 3:20pm it would encounter Train C at 5:09.

I actually have trouble with those sorts of questions as well. In fact, it's a kind of intelligence barrier parsing those things into equations. For some people its as easy to turn that into an equation as it is for us to simply solve an equation.

So you're a little dumb, like me, and most of us. It's okay.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
