Let's say the amounts are "a" and "b"
                                      6%       4%

now... we dunno what "a" is, but nevermind, whatever that is, "b" invested at 4%, is 1600 less than that or less than "a", namely b = a - 1600

so.. "a" is the bigger amount than "b" by 1600, but no matter

what is 6% of a? well, 6/100 * a or 0.06a, that's how much it yielded
what is 4% of b? well, 4/100 * b, or 0.04b, that's much it earned in interests

we know, their yield, or total in earned interest is 156, so.. whatever those yields are, they add up to 156 or

0.06a + 0.04b = 156

now      \bf \begin{cases}
\boxed{b}=a-1600\\\\
0.06a+0.04b=156\\
----------\\
0.06a+0.04\left( \boxed{a-1600} \right)=156
\end{cases}

solve for "a", to see how much was invested at 6%

how much is "b"?  well, b = a - 1600

Answer:

Full proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\ax^2+bx=-c\\\\x^2+\biggr(\frac{b}{a}\biggr)x=-\frac{c}{a}\\\\x^2+\biggr(\frac{b}{a}\biggr)x+\biggr(\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2=-\frac{c}{a}+\biggr(\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2\\\\x^2+\biggr(\frac{b}{a}\biggr)x+\frac{b^2}{4a^2}=-\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b^2}{4a^2}\\ \\\biggr(x+\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2=-\frac{4ac}{4a^2}+\frac{b^2}{4a^2}\\ \\\biggr(x+\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}\\ \\x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\ \\x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
