Multiply (a-b) by (2b-a).

Answer:
-2b(a) - a^2 -2b^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Just use the 'foil' method, meaning that you multiply the first number of one part (a), to the first and second to the next part (2b, -a)
Then, multiply the second number of that part (-b), to the first and to the next part (2b, -a)
You would get: -2b(a) - a^2 -2b^2

So... let's say the amounts invested were "a" at 6% and "b" at 7.5%.
ok.. hmm what's 6% of a? well, (6/100) * a or 0.06a.
what's 7.5% of b? well, (7.5/100) * b or 0.075b.
now... we know, whatever "a" and "b" are, they total the investment of 5000 bucks, thus a + b = 5000
and the interest yielded was 337.50, thus 0.06a + 0.075b = 337.50
thus
solve for "a", to see how much was invested at 6%.
what about "b"? well, b = 5000 - a.
