Question 173699
You were going in the right general direction, but got off track just a little.


Let {{{x}}} be the amount invested in bonds.  Since $30,000 is the total amount invested, {{{30000-x}}} must be the amount invested in stocks.


Now we can say that {{{.06x + .12(30000-x) = 2460}}}


Solve that for {{{x}}} and you will have the answer.


Write back if you need more than this.


Good luck.
