Investment I 8.00% per annum
Investment II 6.00% per annum
x+y=2000 ------------------------1
8.00% x + 6.00% y = $144.00
Multiply by 100
8x+6y= $14,400.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -8
we get
-8x-8y= -16000.00
Add this to (2)
-2y=-$1,600.00
divide by -2
y=$800.00 investment at 6.00%
Balance $1,200.00 investment at 8.00%
