Lets x and y are 2 accounts Paige invested
x account invested with annual interest rate 8.5%
y account invested with annual interest rate 10%
x + y =<span>15,250 so x = 15,250 - y
0.085x + 0.1y = </span><span>1,411.75
substitute </span>x = 15,250 - y into 0.085x + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.085x + 0.1y = 1411.75
0.085(15,250 - y) + 0.1y = 1,411.75
1,296.25 - 0.085y + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.015y = 115.5
y = 7,700
x = 15,250 - y
x = x = 15,250 - 7,700
x = 7,550
answer
$7,550 invested on account with annual interest rate 8.5%
