I would really appreciate any feedback( help ) with what I need to do. The problem is a certain amount of money in invested at 8% per year, and 1500$ more than that amount is invested at 9% per year. The annual interest from the 9% investment exceeds the annual interest from the 8% investment by 160$. How much is invested at each rate? This is what I set up.
.08x+.09(x+1500) = 160+??????????? thank you in advance for your imput
