Question 127463: This word problem must be solved by using systems of equations(addition, elimination or substitution).

Question 127706: I have tried this problem numerous times on numerous days without finding a solution. I have been taught two separate interest equations: I=Prt or A=P(1+r/10). I have no idea what to apply to this problem. I end up dividing or subtracting and creating a negative number, which does not work. The specific problem is: Ms. X deposits $8000 in one account and $9000 in another. The interest rate on the $8000 account is one percent less than that on the $9000 account. If the $9000 account earns $165 more per year than the $8000 account, find the interest rates on each account.
