5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
               -15      -15     subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
  ÷5             ÷5             divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
     +8    +8                   add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2  ÷2                          divide both sides by 3
x = 1

Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15             Correct! x=1

5(2x-8) + 15 = -15

Distribute the 5 into (2x-8) :
10x - 40 + 15 = -15

Add -25 and 15 :
10x - 25 = -15

Add 10 to both sides:
10x = -15 + 25
10x = 10

Divide both sides by 10 :
x = 10/10
x = 1

Answer:

  • $17,500 at 8%
  • $17,500 at 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...

  (11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2

Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:

  $17,500 for 8% return

  $17,500 for 14% return.

_____

If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...

  14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)

  (14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000

  x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.
