Suggested equations: .06x + .05y = 102 ----- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "                       --------- eq (ii) 
\n" );
document.write( "Now, just substitute  for y in eq (i) to get: 
\n" );
document.write( "Solve that for x, the amount invested at 6%. 
\n" );
document.write( "If you want the 5% investment-amount, I do believe that you can find that! \n" );
