Answer provided by our tutors

STEP1 LET X BE AMOUNT INVESTED AT 11%

AND  $5900 -X BE AMOUNT INVETSED AT 7%

STEP2 NOW  WE GENRATE FOLLOWING LINEAR EQUATION 

AS TOATL YEILDS IS $ 537

O.11 X + ( 5900 -X) 0.07 = 537

0.11X  +413  - 0.07X =537 

0.04X = 124

X=$ 3,100  AMOUNT INVESTED AT 11%

AND 

5900 - 3100=$2800  AMOUNT  INVETSED AT 7%
