short-term note at 11% interest. Let the amount be x
and a long-term note at 8% interest, and this amount be y
x+y =135000--------------(1)
total annual interest paid is $12900.
11%x + 8%y = 12900
multiply by 100
11x+8y = 1290000--------------(2)
x Amount @11% 0.11
y Amount @ 8% 0.08
x + y = 135000.00
11.00 x + 8.00 y = 1290000.00 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -8.00
Multiply (2) by 1.00
-8.00 x -8.00 y = -1080000.00
11.00 x 8.00 y = 1290000.00
Add the two equations
3.00 x = 210000.00
/ 3.00
x = 70000.00
plug value of x in (1)
1.00 x + 1.00 y = 135000.00
70000.00 + 1.00 y = 135000.00
1.00 y = 65000.00
y = 65000.00
Ans x = 70000.00
y = 65000.00
70000.00 Amount @11%
65000.00 Amount @ 8%

Let amount invested at 11%, be E
Then amount invested at 8% is, 135,000 - E
We then get the following INTEREST equation: .11E + .08(135,000 - E) = 12,900
.11E + 10,800 - .08E = 12,900
.03E = 2,100
Amount invested at 11%, or 
DO you think you can now find the amount invested at 8%?

How this problem is formulated in the post, makes me laughing.
From one side, Mr. Chase only plans to sell a piece of property.
From the other side, he just have the total annual interest paid.
It is the style of a former English teacher, who has no experience formulating Math problems.
Terrible unprofessional style . . .
