Answer:

$3000 was invested at 11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total interest was $426.  This was comprised of interest earned at 8% (represented by e) and (separately) interest earned at 11% (represented by v).

Then e + v = $4200 total investment, and  

i = $426 = e(0.08)(1 year) + v(0.11)(1 year)

We eliminate the variable e as follows:  since e + v = $4200, e = $4200 - v.  Thus,

i = $426 = e(0.08)(1 year) + v(0.11)(1 year) becomes:

i = $426 = ($4200 - v)(0.08)(1 year) + v(0.11)(1 year)  

This is one equation in one unknown, the amount of $ invested at 11%.

Performing the indicated multiplications:

426 = 4200(0.08) - 0.08v + 0.11v.  Simplifying this further, we get:

426 = 336 + 0.03v.

Then 90 = 0.03v, and v = 90 / 0.03 = $3000.

$3000 was invested at 11%.

Let the width = w.
The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6w.
The perimeter is 70.
P = 2L + 2W

70 = 2(6w) + 2(w)

70 = 12w + 4w

70 = 14w

5 = w

The width is 5.
The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6 * 5 = 30

Area of rectangle = LW

A = 5 * 30 = 150
