You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I also have the same computation regarding the problem, mine goes like this..\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x=16%
\n" ); document.write( " y=15%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " eq1 x+y =23000
\n" ); document.write( " y =23000-x
\n" ); document.write( " eq2 0.16x+0.15y =3500\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "perform the indicated operations in the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 0.16x+0.15(23000-x)=3500
\n" ); document.write( " 0.16x+3450-0.15x=3500
\n" ); document.write( " 0.16x-0.15x=3500-3450
\n" ); document.write( " 0.01x/0.01x=50/0.01
\n" ); document.write( " x=5000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " y=23000-5000
\n" ); document.write( " =18000
\n" ); document.write( "therefore carla invested 5000 at 16%.
\n" ); document.write( "thank you...=)
