Question 1016691: I need some help with this problem:
"You invested $22,000 in two accounts paying 3% and 9% annual​ interest, respectively.
If the total interest earned for the year was $1440, how much was invested at each​ rate?"
I have to write this as an equation and show my work. Would appreciate any help. Thank you.

This can be done in one variable or in two variables.

x dollars at 3%, and therefore 22000-x at 9%

Total interest for the year, 1440 dollars.

Solve this for x.
