Question 22101: A woman invested an amount of money at 5% and twice as much money at 7%. If the total yearly income from the two investments is $760, How much was invested at 7%

Let x = amount invested at 5%
2x = amount invested at 7%
Total interest=
.05x + .07(2x) = 760
.05x + .14x = 760
.19x = 760
x= $4000 at 5%
2x= $8000 at 7%
Check:
.05(4000)+.07(8000)
$200 + $560
$760
It checks!!
