Question 648394
Walt made an extra $7000 last year from a part-time job. He invested part of the money at 6% and the rest at 8%. He made a total of $500 in interest. How much was invested at 8%? 

The equation I came up with was:
.06x+.08y=500

But that looks all kindsa wrong
=======================
No, you're wrong, you're right.  jk
Your equation is correct.
Add another equation, x + y = 7000 and solve them.
========
.06x+.08y=500
x + y = 7000
