You can put this solution on YOUR website! Alejandro inherits $25,000 to invest. He decides to invest part of in an education account for his daughter and the rest in a retirement account. If he invests $2,000 more than three times as much in the retirement account, how much did he invest in each account?
-------------------
Education:: e
Retirement:: 3e+2000
--------------
Equation:
e + 3e+2000 = 25000
4e = 23000
e = $5750
R = 25000-5750 = $19,250
---------------
