Investment II 7.00% per annum ---x
Investment II 9.00% per annum ---y
x + y= 10000 ------------------------1
7.00%x +9.00%y = $732.00
Multiply by 100
7x+9y = $73,200.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -7
we get
-7 x -7 y = -70000.00
Add this to (2)
0 x 2 y = $3,200.00
divide by 2
y = $1,600.00 investment at
Balance $8,400.00 investment at
CHECK
$8,400.00 --------- 7.00% ------- $588.00
$1,600.00 ------- 9.00% ------- $144.00
Total ------- $732.00
