Let the amount invested at 2% be x
Then, the amount invested at 6% is 13000 - x
.
0.02x + 0.06(13000 - x) = 380
0.02x + 780 - 0.06x = 380
-0.04x = -400
x = -400/-0.04 = divide, remember that -/- = + so you can ignore the - sign when you divide.
This will be the amount invested at 2%. Subtract the amount from 13000 to find out the amount invested at 6%.

Some think it makes them appear intelligent to use it, but it's just the opposite.
