Not enough info given: we know the second account pays less than the first, so let's use 2% as an example
\n" ); document.write( "F=amount at 4%; T=amount at 2%
\n" ); document.write( "F+T=22000
\n" ); document.write( "T=22000-F
\n" ); document.write( "0.04F+0.02T=810 Substitute for T
\n" ); document.write( "0.04F+0.02(22000-F)=810
\n" ); document.write( "0.04F+440-0.02F=810 Subtract 440 from each side.
\n" ); document.write( "0.02F=370 Divide each side by 0.02
\n" ); document.write( "F=18500 ANSWER 1: 18500 was invested at 4%.
\n" ); document.write( "T=22000-18500=3500 ANSWER 2: 3500 was invested at 2%.
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "0.04F+0.02T=810
\n" ); document.write( "0.04(18500)+0.02(3500)=810
\n" ); document.write( "740+70=810
\n" ); document.write( "810=810
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
