\n" ); document.write( "

Let the amount invested in account that yields 5%, be F
\n" );
document.write( "Then the amount invested in the account that yields 6% is 9,600 - F
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: .05F + .06(9,600 - F) = 539
\n" );
document.write( "Solve this for F, the amount invested in the account yielding 5% interest.
\n" );
document.write( "You should get an amount of:  \n" );
