You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x= amount, in $, invested at 5%
x%2B100= amount, in $, invested at 6%
$0.05x= 5% annual interest on $x
$0.06%28x%2B100%29= $0.06x%2B6= 6% annual interest on $x%2B100

The equation is 0.06x%2B6=500
Solving:
0.06x%2B6=500
0.06x=500-6
0.06x=494
x=494%2F0.06
highlight%28x=8233.33%29
x%2B100=8233.33%2B100
highlight%28x%2B100=8333.33%29
