\n" ); document.write( "I don't know what your six-step method might be....

\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the amount invested at 5%; then the amount invested at 12% is 2x+42000.

\n" ); document.write( "The interest on the first investment is .05(x); the interest on the second investment is .12(2x+42000).

\n" ); document.write( "Write and solve the equation that says the total interest from the two investments was 46800:

\n" ); document.write( "\".05%28x%29%2B.12%282x%2B42000%29+=+46800\"

\n" ); document.write( "I leave the calculations to you....
