What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the amount of money invested in stocks, y represent bonds and z represent CDs, hence:

x + y + z = 215000     (1)

Also:

0.0225z + 0.02y + 0.092x = 8087.5    (2)

And:

y = 15000 + z    (3)

The solution of the equation is:

x = 50000, y = 90000 and z = 75000

The amount of money invested in stocks was $50000, $90000 was invested in bonds and $75000 was invested in CDs
