Question 1076879: You unevenly split 7200$ into two accounts paying 8% and 10% annual interest. At the end of the year, the accounts earn the same interest. Set up and solve a System of Linear Equasions to find out how much invested. (I need two equasions one being x + y = 7200 and the other being something else that lets me solve using SoLE addition or substitution

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
How much invested IN EACH ACCOUNT


x and y, each amount
system%28x%2By=7200%2C0.08x=0.10y%29

A small simplification of the system is this:
system%28x%2By=7200%2C4x=5y%29
and you can solve it.
