Question
Jason invested his savings in two accounts—one paying 1.5% interest and the other paying 5% annual interest. He put $4,000 more in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. His annual interest is $450. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation. Let x represent the amount invested at 1.5%, and let y represent the amount invested at 5%.(1 point)
Responses

x=y+4,000; 0.015x+0.05y=450
x equals y plus 4,000 ; 0.015 x plus 0.05 y equals 450

y=x+4,000; 0.015x+0.05y=450
y equals x plus 4,000 ; 0.015 x plus 0.05 y equals 450

x=y+450; 0.015x+0.05y=4,000
x equals y plus 450 ; 0.015 x plus 0.05 y equals 4,000

x+y=450; 0.015x+0.05y=4,000
x plus y equals 450 ; 0.015 x plus 0.05 y equals 4,000
