.12x+.09(10000-x)=930
.12x+900-.09x=930
.03x=30
x=30/.03
x=1000 invested @ 12%
10000-1000=9000 invested @ 9%
proof
.12*1000+.09*9000=930
120+810=930
930=930

Let x= the amount invested at 9%
Let 10000-x = the amount invested at 12%
0.09x+ 0.12(10000-x)=930
0.09x+1200-0.12x=930
-0.03x=--270
x=9000
9000 is the amount invested at 9%
Check:
0.09(9000)+0.12(10000-9000)=930
810+120=930
930=930
