If the interest Kelly receives from the bonds in a year is $3,440, how much did she invest in each bond? Formulate a system of equations that can be used to find the solution where x is the number of dollars invested in bond A and y is the number of dollars invested in bond B. (Do not perform any row operations.) = 40,000 = 3,440 Write the augmented matrix corresponding to the system. (Do not reorder the equations. Let the first column represent x and the second column represent y.) 40,000 3,440 Using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method, pivot the matrix about the first entry in the first row. State the result. $ $ 640 Continue using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method until the final matrix is in row-reduced form. State the solution.

- An apartment complex has 1-bedroom apartments and 2-bedroom apartments. There are a total of 78 apartments in the complex, and there are twice as many 2-bedroom apartments as 1-bedroom apartments. If you want to find the number of apartments of each type, which system of equations could be used to solve the problem? Let x be the number of 1-bedroom apartments, and let y be the number of 2-bedroom apartments. A. x + y = 78 2 + y = x B. x + y = 78 2x = y C. x + y = 78 2y = x D. x + 2y = 78 2y = x E. x + 2y = 78 2x = yarrow_forwardSolve this application problem using a system of equations: A grocery store recently sold a bag of peanuts for $0.76 and a bag of pistachios for $3.68.
