Question 1164398
.

<pre>

Let x be the 5% investment.


Then the 6% investment is (2x+45000) dollars.


The total interest equation is then


    0.05x + 0.06*(2x+45000) = 14090  dollars.


From the equation


    x = {{{(14090-0.06*45000)/(0.05 + 2*0.06)}}} = 67000.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  $67000  invested at 5%  and  2*67000 + 45000 = 179000 dollars invested at 6%.


<U>CHECK</U>.  0.05*67000 + 0.06*179000 = 14090 dollars.    ! Correct !

Solved.
