$17,818 is invested, part at 11% and the rest at 6%. If the interest earned from the amount invested at 11% exceeds the interest earned from the amount invested at 6% by $490.33, how much is invested at each rate? (Round to two decimal places if necessary.)

We know the total amount of money invested. $17818

x+y=17818,

We know that the difference in interest earned by the two accounts is $490.33

0.11*x-0.06*y=490.33

x=17818-y

We substitute for x

0.11*(17818-y)-0.06*y=490.33

We multiply out

1959.98-0.11y-0.06*y=490.33

We combine like terms.

1469.65=0.17*y

Isolate y

y=1469.65/0.17

y=8645 at 6%

Calculate x

x=17818-8645

x=9173 at 11%

Check

0.11*9173-0.06*8645=490.33

interest earned at 11%=1009.03

interest earned at 6%=518.70

1009.03-518.7=490.33

490.33=490.33

Since this statement is TRUE and neither amount is negative then all is well.We know the total amount of money invested. $17818

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

step-by-step explanation:

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
