    Eduardo invested $4000

    Sofia invested $6000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let amount Eduardo invested be x

    and amount Sofia invested be y. Then,

    0.08x + 0.09y = 860 ⇒ 8x + 9y = 86000 ... (1) 0.07x + 0.06y = 640 ⇒ 7x + 6y = 64000 ... (2)

    On solving equations (1) and (2),

    We get, x = $4000 and substituting this value of x in (2), we get y = $6000

    Hence, amount of money invested by each of them : Eduardo invested $4000 and Sofia invested $6000
