.


The total interest equation is


    0.05x + 0.05*(x+100000) = 35000


From the equation,


    x =  = 300,000   invested by the husband.


Hence,  the amount invested  by Tina was 300,000 + 100,000 = 400,000.


CHECK.  0.05*300000 + 0.05*400000 = 35,000, the total interest.    ! Correct !

Solved.
