B -Amount @ 7.00% x
A- Amount @ 5.00% 1 x -2000
Total interest earned = 1100
7.00% x+ 5.00% ( 1 x -2000 )= 1100
7.00% x+ 5.00% * 1 x -2000 = 1100
7.00% x+ 5 x -10000 = 110000
7.00 x+ 5 x = 110000
12.00 x = 120000
x= 10000 Amount @ 7.00%
Amount @ 5.00% = 10000 -2000
= 8000
Interest
CHECK
700 + 400 = 1100
