From the analysis of the above math, the amount she invested in the CD account is 5,000. See the analysis below.

What is the analysis showing the above answer?

Let A be the amount invested in the CD.

Let B be the amount invested in the savings bond.

A + B = 15, 000

.04A + .07B = 900

Multiply the first equation by -.04 and add it to the second equation to get rid of the A term.

-.04A-.04B = -600  add this equation to the second equation.

.03B = 300  multiplying by 100.  3B = 30,000

dividing by 3 on both sides: B = 10,000.  So A = 5,000

So she invested 5,000 in the CD account
