Question 487208
let x=6%
    y=8%

eq1 x+y=5000
    y=5000-x
eq2 .06x+.08y=380

perform the indicated operations in the equation:
    .06x+.08(5000-x)=380
    .06x+400-.08x=380
    .06x-.08x=380-400
    .02x/.02x=20/.02
     x=1000

    y=5000-1000=4000

therefore tom invested $4000 at 8%... thank you..
