Part I 10.00% per annum ------------- Amount invested =x
Part II 6.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
8000
Interest----- 536.00

Part I 10.00% per annum ---x
Part II 6.00% per annum ---y
Total investment
x + 1 y= 8000 -------------1
Interest on both investments
10.00% x + 6.00% y= 536
Multiply by 100
10 x + 6 y= 53600.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -10
we get
-10 x -10 y= -80000.00
Add this to (2)
0 x -4 y= -26400
divide by -4
y = 6600
Part I 10.00% $ 1400
Part II 6.00% $ 6600

CHECK
1400 --------- 10.00% ------- 140.00
6600 ------------- 6.00% ------- 396.00
Total -------------------- 536.00
