x = amount invested in A
y = amount invested in B
---
x + y = 12000
0.01x + 0.05y = 0.02*12000
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 12000
0.01x + 0.05y = 240
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

x the Fund B amount
.05x + .01(12000 - x) = .02(12000)
x = .01(12000)/.04 = $3000
