Let $\"x\"$ = amount invested @ 4%
\n" ); document.write( "Then $\"500+-+x\"$ = amount invested @ 6%
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\".04x+%2B+.06%2A%28500+-+x%29+=+23\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\".04x+%2B+30+-+.06x+=+23\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-.02x+=+-7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+350\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"500+-+x+=+150\"$
\n" ); document.write( "$350 was invested @ 4% and $150 was invested @ 6% \n" ); document.write( "
