Two investments totaling $58500 produced an annual income of $3255. One investment yields 3% per year,while the other yields 9% per year. How much is invested at each rate
-------
Quantity Eq:::: x + y = 58500
Interest Eq::: 3x + 9y = 325500
---------------------------------
Modify:
3x + 3y = 3*58500
3x + 9y = 325500
6y = 150000
y = $25000 (amt invested at 9%
x = $33500 (amt invested at 3%
