A total of $20,000 is to be invested, some in bonds and some in certficates of deposit (CDs). If the amount invested in bonds is to exceed that in CDs by $2000, how much will be invested in each type of instrument?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let C = the amount invested in CDs
\n" ); document.write( "then the amount invested in bonds will be C+2000.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From this information an equation can now be written \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"C%2BC%2B2000=20000\"
\n" ); document.write( " or in words the amount invest in CDs plus the amount invested in bonds equals 20000.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This equation can be written as \"2C%2B2000=20000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 2000 from both sides you get \"2C=18000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing both sides by 2 you get \"C=9000\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the amount invested in CDs is $9000 and the amount invested in bonds is $2000 more or $11000.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
