Can someone please help me with a word problem?

Question

I'm a 9th grader and its my first time in algebra 2 and I suck at word problems! Can someone please help me figure this out?

A man invested $6,000, part of it at 5% simple interest and the rest at 7% simple interest. If his annual interest income is $372, how much did he invest at each rate?

Any suggestions will help. Please and Thank You.

Answer 1

(6000 - X) .05 + .07 X = 372

Answer 2

I have an answer to your question already but I'm not so sure. Is this an assignment in your school? well, I will give you my answer but be sure to consult books to know the solution if this is correct. If it's correct, please update, 250.
