Question 909557
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x]represent the amount invested at 8%.  Then *[tex \Large 3x] is the amount invested at 17%.  The return on the 8% investment is then given by *[tex \Large 0.08x] and the return on the 17% investment is *[tex \Large 0.17(3x)\ =\ 0.51x].  The sum of the two returns is $10,030, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.08x\ +\ 0.51x\ = 10030]


Solve for *[tex \Large x], then calculate *[tex \Large 3x]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
