x a 2%
\n" ); document.write( "19000-x at 3%
\n" ); document.write( "so 0.02x+0.03(19000-x)= 530
\n" ); document.write( "0.02x+570-0.03x=530
\n" ); document.write( "-0.01x=-40
\n" ); document.write( "x=$4000 at 2% ($80 per year)
\n" ); document.write( "19000-x=$15000 at 3% ($450 per year)
\n" ); document.write( "
