An investment of $11,050 is divided into two accounts, one for stocks and one for mutual funds. The value of the stock account is $1,700 less than twice the value of the mutual fund account. Find the amount in the stock account.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amount ($) of stock account
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "11050-x = amount ($) in mutual funds
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "From:\"The value of the stock account is $1,700 less than twice the value of the mutual fund account.\" we get our equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2(11050-x) - 1700
\n" ); document.write( "x = 22100-2x - 1700
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 22100 - 1700
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 20400
\n" ); document.write( "x = $6800\r
\n" ); document.write( "
