Heather invested $2,200 at 9% and invested $3,700 at 4%
What represents the amount invested in each asset?
The amount invested at 9% can be represented as x whereas the balance invested at 4% is (5900-x), as a result, the interest earned on each is computed thus:
Interest 9%=x*9%
interest at 9%=0.09x
Interest at 4%=(5900-x)*4%
interest at 4%=236-0.04x
Total interest=0.09x+236-0.04x
total interest=0.05x+236
Total interest earned=346
346=0.05x+236
346-236=0.05x
110=0.05x
x=110/0.05
x=$2,200(invested at 9%)
amount invested at 4%=5900-2200
amount invested at 4%=$3,700

When you expand the equation, you will have
9x + 9=25 + x
Next you have to collect like terms
+x will go over the equality sign to become -x. The same applies to +9
9x - x=23 - 9
9x minus x is 8x
8x=14
Divide both sides by 8
x=14/8
You will have 1 6/8
6 is the remainder while 1 is the number of times 8 divided 14.
In decimal, it will be 1.75
Hope that helped. Good luck
