$8250 was loaned at 6% per year.

Step-by-step explanation

Total amount of loan is $19,000

Suppose, the amount of loan at 6% per year is
x

So, the amount of loan at 14% per year will be :
(19000-x) dollar.

Amount of interest in one year at 6%
= x*0.06 = 0.06x dollar and amount of interest in one year at 14%
=(19000-x)*0.14=(2660-0.14x) dollar.

As the total interest received in one year is $2000, so.....


0.06x+(2660-0.14x)=2000\\ \\ -0.08x=2000-2660\\ \\ -0.08x=-660\\ \\ x=(-660)/(-0.08)=8250

So, $8250 was loaned at 6% per year.
