Hi,
We will solve the linear system of two linear equations:
We will let x be the amount of 8% investment and y be the amount of 5% investment
Equation 1: x + y = 1300 (total invested money)
Equation 2: 0.08x + 0.05y = 95 (total interest of both investments)
Solve the linear system and you will find your answers:)
