You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your starting seems correctly
\n" ); document.write( "You let x be the amount which invest into 16% account
\n" ); document.write( " y---------------------------------15% account
\n" ); document.write( "The total amount to invest is 23000
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 23000
\n" ); document.write( "The total earned amount is 3500
\n" ); document.write( "0.16x + 0.15y = 3500
\n" ); document.write( "Solve the system to find the amount of each investment
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 23000
\n" ); document.write( "0.16x +0.15y = 3500
\n" ); document.write( "Hint: the answers are $5,000 in 16% account and $18,000 in 15 % account
\n" ); document.write( "Hope it'll help you! John10:) \n" ); document.write( "
