Let \"+a+\" = amount invested @ 15%
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+b+\" = amount invested @ 12%
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "In the 1st case:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+.15a+%2B+.12b+=+1590+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+.12a+%2B+.15b+=+1650+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+15a+%2B+12b+=+159000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+12a+%2B+15b+=+165000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (1) by \"+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and both sides of (2) by \"+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then subtract (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+60a+%2B+75b+=+825000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+-60a+-+48b+=+-636000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+27b+=+189000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+7000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plug this result back into either (1) or (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+15a+%2B+12b+=+159000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+15a+%2B+12%2A7000+=+159000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+15a+=+159000+-+84000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+15a+=+75000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+a+=+5000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "$5,000 was invested @ 15%
\n" ); document.write( "$7,000 was invested @ 12%
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check answers:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+.15a+%2B+.12b+=+1590+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+.15%2A5000+%2B+.12%2A7000+=+1590+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+750+%2B+840+=+1590+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+1590+=+1590+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Ok
