$5,000 is invested in two different accounts yielding 3% and 3.5% interest. The amount invested in the account that yields 3% interest is $550 more than the other account. Establish the equations necessary to find the amount of money
invested in each of the accounts. Let x and y represent the two amounts invested.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

any of them that add up to 180 degrees.
