Total amount of money invested: $13000
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=13000,
\n" ); document.write( "Total yearly interest for the two accounts is: $1500
\n" ); document.write( "0.07*x+0.17*y=1500
\n" ); document.write( "x=13000-y
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x
\n" ); document.write( "0.07*(13000-y)+0.17*y=1500
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply out
\n" ); document.write( "910-0.07y+0.17*y=1500
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "0.1*y=590
\n" ); document.write( "Isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "y=$ 5900.00 at 17%
\n" ); document.write( "x=13000-y
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate x
\n" ); document.write( "x=$ 7100.00 at 7%
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "0.07*7100+0.17*5900=1500
\n" ); document.write( "497+1003=1500
\n" ); document.write( "1500=1500
\n" ); document.write( "If this statement is TRUE and neither amount is negative then all is well
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
