x=amount invested with a return rate of 10 percent
\n" ); document.write( "y=amount invested with a loss of seven percent
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=28,500
\n" ); document.write( "x=28500-y
\n" ); document.write( ".1x-.07y=-380
\n" ); document.write( ".1(28500-y)-.07y=-380
\n" ); document.write( "2850-.1y-.07y=-380
\n" ); document.write( "-.17y=-3230
\n" ); document.write( "y=19,000
