Question 185362
Norman split his life savings of $60,000 among three banks.
x + y + z = 60000
----------------------- 
He received 5%, 6%, and 7% on three deposits.
0.05x + 0.06y + 0.07z = 3700
-------------------------------------- 
In the account earning 7% interest, he deposited twice as much as in the account earning 5% interest.
z = 2x 
If his total earnings were $3,760, then how much did he deposit in each account?
-----------------------------
Rearrange the equations and make some modifications to get:
x  +  y  +  z = 60000
5x + 6y  + 7z = 376000
2x + 0   -  z = 0
-------------------------
Solve by any method you know to get:
x = 16000
y = 12000
z = 32000
