let x be the amount of money invested at 6% and y be amount of money invested at 7%, then
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 7000
\n" ); document.write( ".06x +.07y = 471
\n" ); document.write( "solve first equation for x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7000 - y
\n" ); document.write( "now substitute for x in second equation
\n" ); document.write( ".06(7000 - y) + .07y = 471
\n" ); document.write( "420 - .06y + .07y = 471
\n" ); document.write( ".01y = 51
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5100 and
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7000 - 5100 = 1900
\n" ); document.write( "*****************************************
\n" ); document.write( "$1900 was invested at 6% and $5100 was invested at 7%
\n" ); document.write( "solve equation 1 for y
\n" ); document.write( "y = 7000 - x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
