Answer:

x=22000 ( bonds)

Explanation:

total money invested=26000 , x for bonds and y stocks

x+y=26000 ⇒ x=26000-y

0.05 x + 0.08 y=1420 solve by substitute : x=26000-y

0.05(26000-y)+0.08 y =1420

1300-0.05y+0.08y=1420

0.03y=1420-1300

y=120/0.03

y= 4000 ( the amount invested in stocks)

the amount invested in bonds x= 26000-4000

x=22000 ( bonds)

check :

0.05(22000)+0.08(4000)= 1420 correct
