Answer:
The amount invested at 7% is $1,400 and the amount invested at 9% is $7,600
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> amount invested at 7%
(9,000-x) -----> amount invested at 9%
we know that
The interest earned by the amount invested at 7% plus the interest earned by the amount invested at 9% must be equal to $782
so
The linear equation that represent this problem is
solve for x
therefore
The amount invested at 7% is $1,400 and the amount invested at 9% is $7,600

This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°, therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see attached).
Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse (flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this case, we use the sin function:
sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight
flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45
<span>flight = 96.17 miles per hr</span>
