Solve these two equations for M and C, the amounts invested in munis and corporates, respectivly.
M + C = 7000
0.06M + 0.09 C = 555
Using substitution,
0.06M + 0.09*(7000 - M) = 555.
Rearranging the last equation,
0.03 M = 630 - 555 = 75
M = 75/0.03 = _____
C = 7000 - M = ____
M + C = 7000
0.06M + 0.09 C = 555
Using substitution,
0.06M + 0.09*(7000 - M) = 555.
Rearranging the last equation,
0.03 M = 630 - 555 = 75
M = 75/0.03 = _____
C = 7000 - M = ____
