Laurie has $46,000 invested in stocks. the amount invested in stocks is $8,000 less than three times the amount invested in bonds. how much does laurie have invested in bonds?

Amount invested in stocks = 46,000

Let "x" be the amount invested in bonds

The amount invested in stock is also = 3x - 8,000

We equate the two amounts above (Since both are related to stock investments), we get,

3x-8000 = 46000

3x = 54000

x =54000/3

x =18000

Amount that Laurie has invested in bonds = $18,000

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
