You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = $ at 8%
\n" ); document.write( "y = $ at 12%
\n" ); document.write( "y=6x
\n" ); document.write( ".08x + .12y = 1200
\n" ); document.write( ".08x + .12(6x) = 1200
\n" ); document.write( ".08x + .72x = 1200
\n" ); document.write( ".8x = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1500
\n" ); document.write( "y=6(1500)=9000 invested at 12%
