    Interest1+interest2=1000

    case 1

    principal = x

    rate of interest=10/100

    time = 2 years

    I=P*T*R/100

    (10*x*2) / 100

    20x/100

    case 2

    principal = 6500 - x

    rate of interest = 4.6/100

    time = 2 years

    I=P*T*R/100

    (6500-x*2*4.6) / 100

    (6500-x) * 9.2/100

    61800-9.2x/100

    interest1+interest2=1000

    20x/100+61800-9.2x/100 = 1000

    61800-9.2x+20x/100=1000

    61800+10.8x=100000

    x = (100000 - 61800) / 10.8

    x = 38200/10.8

    x=$ 3,537.04

    6500 - x = 6500-3,537.04

    =$2962.96

    if rounded to the nearest cent the answer is

    x=$3,537.00

    6500-x=$2963.00
