Quantity Equation:: f + s = 25000
Interest Equation:: 4f + 6s = 130000
-----------------------------------------------
What variable will you use? What will they represent?
f is the amount of 4% money
s is the amount of 6% money
-------------------------------------
What equations can u write to model this situation?
See above.
===================
How can you use a matrix to solve this system
The coefficient matrix is 2 by 2
Find it's inverse and multiply the column vector [25000 130000]
to see the values of "f" and "s".
f = $10000 ; s = $15000
