Eva invested a certain amount of money at 7% interest and $1400 more than that amount at 12%. Her total yearly interest was $795. How much did she invest at each rate.
-------
Interest Eq: 0.07x + 0.12(x+1400) = 795
-------------
Multiply thru by 100:
7x + 12x + 12*1400 = 79500
--------------
19x = 62700
---
x = $3300 (amt. invested at 7%)
---
1400+x = $4700 (amt. invested at 12%)
