Hi

$500 more than the first, at 8%

Let x and (x+$500) represent the amount invested at 6% and 8% respectively

Question states***

 .06x + .08(x+$500) = $180

Solving for x

      .14x = 140

         x = $1000,amount invested at 6%.    $1500 at 8% 

CHECKING our Answer***

.06*$1000 + .08*$1500 =  $60 + $120 = $180
