one investment: 3%, amount: x
the other: 8%, amount: 64,500-x because x is invested at 3%
0.03x+0.08(64,500-x) = 3,560
0.03x+5,160-0.08x = 3,560
-0.05x = -1,600 divide both sides by 0.05 and remember that -/- = +
x = 32,000 This is the amount invested at 3%
The amount invested at 8% is 64,500-32,000 = 32,500
