You can put this solution on YOUR website!
say he invested X at 5% and Y at 6.5%. X+Y is 4,000. Interest is 0.05X+0.065Y = 227. \r

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " We'll use substitution. After moving 1*Y to the right, we get:
\n" ); document.write( " \"1%2AX+=+4000+-+1%2AY\", or \"X+=+4000%2F1+-+1%2AY%2F1\". Substitute that
\n" ); document.write( " into another equation:
\n" ); document.write( " \"0.05%2A%284000%2F1+-+1%2AY%2F1%29+%2B+0.065%5CY+=+227\" and simplify: So, we know that Y=1800. Since \"X+=+4000%2F1+-+1%2AY%2F1\", X=2200.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Answer: \"system%28+X=2200%2C+Y=1800+%29\".
