You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Part I 6.00% per annum
Part II 8.00% per annum

x+y=32000 ------------------------1
6.00%x+8.00%y=$2,120.00
Multiply by 100
6x+8y=$212,000.00 --------2

Multiply (1) by -6
we get
-6x-6y= -192000
Add this to (2)
2y=$20,000.00

divide by 2
investment at 8.00% $10,000
Balance $22,000.00 investment at 6.00%
