An executive invests $10,000,some at 9% and some at 8% annual interest. If he receives an annual return of $830, how much is invested at each rate?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 10,000
\n" ); document.write( "0.09x + 0.08y = 830
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru 1st by 9
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru 2nd by 100
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "9x + 9y = 9*10,000
\n" ); document.write( "9x + 8y = 83000
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "y = $7000 (amt. invested at 9%)
\n" ); document.write( "x = $3000 (amt. invested at 8%
