Part I 12.00% per annum ------------- Amount invested =x
\n" ); document.write( "Part II 4.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
\n" ); document.write( " 30000
\n" ); document.write( "Interest----- 2400.00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Part I 12.00% per annum ---x
\n" ); document.write( "Part II 4.00% per annum ---y
\n" ); document.write( "Total investment
\n" ); document.write( "x + 1 y= 30000 -------------1
\n" ); document.write( "Interest on both investments
\n" ); document.write( "12.00% x + 4.00% y= 2400
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 100
\n" ); document.write( "12 x + 4 y= 240000.00 --------2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (1) by -12
\n" ); document.write( "we get
\n" ); document.write( "-12 x -12 y= -360000.00
\n" ); document.write( "Add this to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "0 x -8 y= -120000
\n" ); document.write( "divide by -8
\n" ); document.write( " y = 15000
\n" ); document.write( "Part I 12.00% $ 15000
\n" ); document.write( "Part II 4.00% $ 15000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "15000 --------- 12.00% ------- 1800.00
\n" ); document.write( "15000 ------------- 4.00% ------- 600.00
