Total yearly interest for the two accounts is: $650
\n" ); document.write( "x=2y
\n" ); document.write( "0.1*x+0.08*y=650
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x
\n" ); document.write( "0.1*(2y)+0.08*y=650
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply out
\n" ); document.write( "0.2y+0.08*y=650
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "0.2y+0.08*y=650
\n" ); document.write( "0.28*y=650
\n" ); document.write( "Isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "0.28*y=650
\n" ); document.write( "y=650/0.28
\n" ); document.write( "y=$2321.42857 at 8%
\n" ); document.write( "y rounded off
\n" ); document.write( "y=$ 2321.43 at 8%
\n" ); document.write( "x=2y
\n" ); document.write( "x=2*2321.42857
\n" ); document.write( "x=4642.85714+0
\n" ); document.write( "x=$4642.85714 at 10%
\n" ); document.write( "x rounded off
\n" ); document.write( "x=$ 4642.86 at 10%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=$ 4642.86 at 10%
\n" ); document.write( "y=$ 2321.43 at 8%
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "0.1*4642.85714+0.08*2321.42857=650
\n" ); document.write( "464.285714+185.714286=650
\n" ); document.write( "650.0=650
\n" ); document.write( "If this statement is TRUE and neither x nor y is negative then all is well
