I=PRT
Total interest =PRT of the first investment + PRT of the second investment
Let x=the principle of the second investment
5000=2000(.10)(1)+x(.12)(1)
5000=200+.12x
4800=.12x
x=$40,000
Therefore,$40,000 should be invested at 12% interest to make the total yearly income from both investments equal to $5,000.
