Question 1046955
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the amount invested at 5%, then *[tex \Large x\ -\ 1500] is the amount invested at 8%, and *[tex \Large 20000\ -\ (2x\ -\ 1500)] is the amount invested at 6%.  Since the total return is $1270:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  0.05x\ +\ 0.08(x\ -\ 1500)\ +\ 0.06(20000\ -\ (2x\ -\ 1500))\ =\ 1270]


Solve for *[tex \Large x], then calculate *[tex \Large 20000\ -\ (2x\ -\ 1500)]

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