X - the amount of money collected by Aiden
y - the amount of money collected by Jacob
Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8.

Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden.

The total amount of money they collected is
$360.50.
My answer: $2000 were invested at 5%
Let x amount of money was invested at 5% and (6000-x) amount was invested as 3%
The GCF we factor out is 4a
8ab = 4a*2b
16ac = 4a*4c
12a = 4a*3
Each term has been factored so that 4a is a factor
Using those factorizations, we can use the distributive property in reverse
8ab - 16ac + 12a = 4a*2b - 4a*4c + 4a*3
8ab - 16ac + 12a = 4a*(2b - 4c + 3)
