Her business equipment loan was at an interest rate of 11%, the small business loan was at an interest rate of 4%, and her home equity loan was at an interest rate of 5.5%. The total simple interest due on the loans in one year was $4465.
The annual simple interest due on the home equity was $825 more than the interest on the business equipment loan. How much did she borrow from each source?

---------------------
b + s + h = 76000 dollars
0.11b + 0.04s + 0.055h = 4465 dollars
-0.11b + 0s + 0.055h = 825 dollars
---------
b + s + h = 76000
11b+4s+5.5h = 446500
-11b + 0 + 5.5h = 82500
--------------------------------
Use any method you know to solve the system to get:
b = 12000
s = 25000
h = 39000
