Use a system of linear equations to determine how much was borrowed at each rate given that the total annual interest was $144,000 and the amount borrowed at 6% was twice the amount borrowed at 10%. Solve the system of linear equations using matrices.\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First and second equations look good.
\n" ); document.write( "y is twice z, why do you have the equation with y equal to 4 times z?
\n" ); document.write( "Correct that and find the solution.
