Don't waste your time nor our time writing this nonsense.
\n" ); document.write( "The amount invested at 5% is?
\n" ); document.write( "The amount invested at 7% is?
\n" ); document.write( "It serves no useful purpose and it is annoying. Rather,spend time working on the problem.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total amount of money invested: $40000
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=40000,
\n" ); document.write( "Total yearly interest for the two accounts is: $2280
\n" ); document.write( "0.05*x+0.07*y=2280
\n" ); document.write( "x=40000-y
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x
\n" ); document.write( "0.05*(40000-y)+0.07*y=2280
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply out
\n" ); document.write( "2000-0.05*y+0.07*y=2280
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "0.02*y=280
\n" ); document.write( "Isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "y=$14000.00 at 7%
\n" ); document.write( "x=40000-y
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate x
\n" ); document.write( "x=$26000.00 at 5%
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "0.05*26000+0.07*14000=2280
\n" ); document.write( "1300+980=2280
\n" ); document.write( "2280=2280
\n" ); document.write( "If this statement is TRUE and neither x nor y is negative then all is well\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
