\n" ); document.write( "x = amount at 9.5%
\n" ); document.write( "22000-x = amount at 3%

\n" ); document.write( "The total interest was $1765:

\n" ); document.write( " $\".095%28x%29%2B.03%2822000-x%29=1765\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\".095x%2B660-.03x=1765\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\".065x=1105\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=1105%2F.065+=+17000\"$

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: $17000 at 9.5%; the other $5000 at 3%

\n" ); document.write( "CHECK: .095(17000)+.03(5000)=1615+150=1765

\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
