If she invests x an y, then we have
x+y = 144800
.10x + .18y = 20000
Now just do that as a matrix equation.
Set up the system of equations and then solve it by using an inverse matrix.
One safe investment pays 10% per year, and a more risky investment pays 18% per year. A woman has $144,800 to invest and would like to have an income of $20,000 per year from her investments. How much should she invest at each rate?
