Answer:

$17,000 at 14% and $9,000 at 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount invested at 14%.

Let y = amount invested at 2%.

x + y = 26000

0.14x + 0.02y = 2560

     -0.02x - 0.02y = -520

(+)    0.14x + 0.02y = 2560

-------------------------------------

       0.12x              = 2040

x = 17,000

x + y = 26000

17000 + y = 26000

y = 9000

Answer: $17,000 at 14% and $9,000 at 2%
