.07x+.09(12,000-x)=970
\n" ); document.write( ".07x+1080-.09x=970
\n" ); document.write( "-.02x=970-1080
\n" ); document.write( "-.02x=110
\n" ); document.write( "x=-110/-.02
\n" ); document.write( "x=5,500 amount invested @ 7%
\n" ); document.write( "12,000-5,500=6,500 amount invested @ 9%
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( ".07*5,500+.09*6,500=970
\n" ); document.write( "385+586=970
