Formulate but do not solve the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "Kelly Fisher invested a total of $20,000 in two municipal bonds that have yields of 7% and 10% interest per year, respectively. If the interest Kelly receives from the bonds in a year is $1640, how much did she invest in each bond? (Let x and y denote the amount, in dollars, invested at 7% and 10%, respectively.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Using two variables::
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity equation:: x + y = 20,000 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Interest equation::7x + 10y = 164000 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "OR, just using one variable::
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 10(20,000-x) = 164000
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
