Let x = Amount Invested at 40%
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = Amount Invested at 90%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Amount Invested = $2.96219e-154
\n" ); document.write( "Total Income = $0
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 2.96219e-154
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.96219e-154 - y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "0.4x +0.9y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "40x +90y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "40(2.96219e-154 - y) +90y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "1.18488e-152 - 40y +90y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "50y = -1.18488e-152
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "y = $-2.36975e-154 Invested at 90%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.96219e-154 - -2.36975e-154
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x = $5.33194e-154 Invested at 40%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
