Question 1060225:  Tyler has two savings accounts that his grandparents opened for him. One of the accounts pay 7% annual interest, whereas the other pays 9% annual interest. If you have $300 more invested at 9% than you invested at 7%, how much do you have invested in each account if the total amount of interest you earn in a year is $107?
 
 
Perform the following additions and/or subtractions:  
(5q3−8q2−1)−(−5q3+8q2+1)
 
Please help me. im so confused with these problems :(

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Tyler has two savings accounts that his grandparents opened for him. One of the accounts pay 7% annual interest, whereas the other pays 9% annual interest. If you have $300 more invested at 9% than you invested at 7%, how much do you have invested in each account if the total amount of interest you earn in a year is $107? 
--- 
A = total amount invested at 7% 
---- 
Interest = 0.07*A + 0.09*(A + 300) = 107 
0.07A + 0.09A + 27 = 107 
0.16A = 80 
A = 80/0.16 = $500 
--> $500 @ 7% and $800 @ 9% 
--------------------------------- 
Perform the following additions and/or subtractions: 
Use ^ (Shift 6) for exponents. 
--- 
(5q^3 - 8q^2 - 1) - (-5q^3 + 8q^2 + 1) 
----- 
Change all the signs in the 2nd trinomial and add them. 
(5q^3 - 8q^2 - 1) + (5q^3 - 8q^2 - 1) 
Combine like terms, ie, q^3 terms, q^2 terms, etc 
= 10q^3 - 16q^2 - 2
