Emma has money in two savings accounts. 
One rate is 5% let this amount be x

and the other is 11%. The amount here is x+300

  the total interest is $ 137,

5%x + 11%(x+300) = 137

multiply by 100

5x +11(x+300) = 13700

5x +11x + 3300 = 13700

16x = 13700-3300

16x = 10,400

x = 10400/16


Amount at 5% = 650

Amount at 11% = 650+300 = 950

Check

650*0.05 + 950*0.11=137
