Question 1022863
OK, I'll take you up to the equations. If you get stuck email me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20,000 at 0.07 and 0.09 earn 1,550.
Let's call the amount invested at 0.07 x. 
The rest of the money is invested at 0.09... how much is this amount? Well, out of 20,000, if x is invested at 0.07, that leaves 20,000-x to invest at 0.09:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0.07x+0.09(20,000-x) = 1,550
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You take it from there.
