D is the answer to the question
-4.9
a negative will overcome the positive always
Let amount invested at 6% be S
Then amount invested at 8% = 16,000 - S
We therefore have: .06(S) + .08(16,000 - S) = 1,140 .06S + 1,280 - .08S = 1,140 .06S - .08S = 1,140 - 1,280 - .02S = - 140 S, or amount invested at 6% = $ 7,000Amount invested at 8% = $16,000 - 7,000, or $ 9,000
The solution is (10,2) or x=10, y=2. Hope this helps :)
