You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the original rates of return be
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a%2F100+\" for the $10,000 investment
\n" ); document.write( "and \"+b%2F100+\" for the $28,000 investment
\n" ); document.write( "( this will give your answers directly in percent )
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You are given that:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+%28a%2F100%29%2A10000+%2B+%28b%2F100%29%2A28000+=+1750+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+%28b%2F100%29%2A10000+%2B+%28a%2F100%29%2A28000+=+1480+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+100a+%2B+280b+=+1750+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+100b+%2B+280a+=+1480+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+10a+%2B+28b+=+175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+28a+%2B+10b+=+148+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"a\" and \"b\"
\n" ); document.write( "I can't find my calculator\r
