Answer:
- $8000 at 1%
- $2000 at 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
It often works well to let a variable represent the amount invested at the higher rate. Then an equation can be written relating amounts invested to the total interest earned.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Let x represent the amount invested at 10%. Then 10000-x is the amount invested at 1%. The total interest earned is ...
0.10x +0.01(10000 -x) = 280
<h3>solution</h3>
Simplifying gives ...
0.09x +100 = 280
0.09x = 180 . . . . . . . subtract 100
x = 2000 . . . . . . divide by 0.09
10000 -x = 8000 . . . . amount invested at 1%
<h3>1.</h3>
$8000 should be invested in the 1% account
<h3>2.</h3>
$2000 should be invested in the 10% account

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, let's solve :)
So first we have to distribute on the left side(it doesn't matter which side FYI)
When we do, we have :
10x + 30 = -4(-5-2x)
Now we distribute on the right side! Remember, negative * negative = positive.
10x + 30 = 20 + 8x + 3x
Let's simplify on the right side to
10x + 30 = 20 + 11x
Now, let's subtract 10x on both sides to get
x + 20 = 30(i simply flipped the equation)
Subtract 20 on both sides to get!
x = 10!
