\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let the amount invested at 4% be x
\n" ); document.write( "The amount invested at 5%i s 2x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "The yearly interest obtained is 350 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "0.04x + 0.05*(2x) = 350

\n" ); document.write( "0.14x = 350
\n" ); document.write( "x = 350/0.14
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2500 which is the amount invested at 4%
\n" ); document.write( "2*2500 = 5000 dollars is the amount invested at 5%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHECK. 0.04*2500 + 0.05*5000 = 350 dollars. ! Precisely correct !\r
