Let A be the amount at 10%, B the amount at 5%.
\n" ); document.write( "Total amount
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BB=30000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Total interest
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"0.10A%2B0.05B=2300\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq. 2, by (-10) and add to eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BB-A-0.5B=30000-23000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.5B=7000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28+B=14000%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2B14000=30000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28+A=16000%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "She invested $16,000 at 10% and $14,000 at 5%.
