Total amount of money invested: $25000
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=25000,
\n" ); document.write( "Total yearly interest for the two accounts is: $1770
\n" ); document.write( "0.07*x+0.09*y=1770
\n" ); document.write( "x=25000-y
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x
\n" ); document.write( "0.07*(25000-y)+0.09*y=1770
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply out
\n" ); document.write( "1750-0.07y+0.09*y=1770
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "0.02*y=20
\n" ); document.write( "Isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "y=$ 1000.00 at 9%
\n" ); document.write( "x=25000-y
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate x
\n" ); document.write( "x=$24000.00 at 7%
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "0.07*24000+0.09*1000=1770
\n" ); document.write( "1680+90=1770
\n" ); document.write( "1770=1770
\n" ); document.write( "If this statement is TRUE and neither x nor y is negative then all is well
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
