\n" ); document.write( "x = amount lent out at 7% \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.07(x) + 0.17(16000-x) = 2000
\n" ); document.write( "0.07x + 2720 - 0.17x = 2000
\n" ); document.write( " -0.1x = 2000 - 2720
\n" ); document.write( " -0.1x = -720
\n" ); document.write( " x = 7200
\n" ); document.write( "16000-x = 8800\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: $7200 was lent at 7%, $8800 was lent at 17%
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "Check: $7200*0.07 + $8800*0.17 = $504 + $1496 = $2000 (ok)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
