A person invested 30,000 in stocks and bonds. Her investment in bonds is 2000 more than 1-third her investments in stocks. How much did she invest in stocks? How much did she invest in bonds? Let the stock investment be s, and the bond investment be b. We're given: [LIST=1] [*]b + s = 30000 [*]b = 1/3s + 2000 [/LIST] Plug in (2) to (1): 1/3s + 2000 + s = 30000 Group like terms: (1/3 + 1)s + 2000 = 30000 Since 1 = 3/3, we have: 4/3s + 2000 = 30000 Subtract 2000 from each side: 4/3s + 2000 - 2000 = 30000 - 2000 Cancel the 2000's on the left side, we get: 4/3s = 28000 [URL=' this equation into our calculator[/URL], we get: s = [B]21,000[/B]
