x+y=20000 ------------------------1
\n" ); document.write( "10.00% x+8.00% y = $1,840.00
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 100
\n" ); document.write( "10x+8y= $184,000.00 --------2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (1) by -10
\n" ); document.write( "we get
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-10x-10 y=-200000.00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Add this to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-$16,000.00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "divide by -2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "y = $8,000.00 investment at 8.00%
