Diana inherits $45,000 and decides to invest part of it in an education account for her daughter and the rest in a 10-year CD.
\n" ); document.write( " If the amount she puts in the education account is $12,000 more than twice the amount she puts in the CD, how much money does Diana invest in each account?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amt invested in the CD
\n" ); document.write( "\"the amount she puts in the education account is $12,000 more than twice the amount she puts in the CD,\", therefore
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 12000 = amt invested in the ed acct
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "cd + ed acct = $45,000
\n" ); document.write( "x + (2x+12000) = 45000
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 12000 = 45000
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 45000 - 12000
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 33000
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33000/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = $11,000 invested in the cd
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2(11000) + 12000 = $34,000 invested in the ed acct \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
