Greg 'acquired' $25,000 and invested the money into two seprate accounts. In one of the accounts he earned 5.5% and in the second he earned 9%. In a year he took a total of $26,842.25 out of the accounts, closing them out. How much money did he invest at each rate?

\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "interest + interest = interest
\n" ); document.write( "0.055x + 0.09(25000-x) = 26842.25-25000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 1000 to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "55x + 90*25000 - 90x = 1842250\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-35x = -407750\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = $11,650 (amt invested at 5.5%
\n" ); document.write( "25000-11,650 = $13,350 (amt. inveted at 9%)
