Question 1206271
<font color=black size=3>
x = amount invested in bonds
50000 - x = amount invested in the CD


0.17x + 0.07(50000 - x) = 6000 
is the equation to form.


This is because,
0.17x = amount earned from the bonds
0.07*(50000-x) = amount earned from the bonds
this is over a 1 year time span


Let's solve for x.
0.17x + 0.07(50000 - x) = 6000
0.17x + 0.07(50000) + 0.07(-x) = 6000
0.17x + 3500 -0.07x = 6000
0.10x + 3500 = 6000
0.10x = 6000 - 3500
0.10x = 2500
x = 2500/0.10
x = <font color=red>$25,000</font> must be invested in bonds.
The other <font color=red>$25,000</font> would be invested in the CD.
