  1. amount invested at 7.5% ---- x
    amount invested at 9% ----- 2x
    amount invested at 8% = 10000-2x-x = 10000 - 3x

    .08(10000-3x) + .09(2x) + .075x = 845
    times 1000
    80(10000-3x) + 90(2x) + 75x = 845000

    now it is easy, just solve for x, then back-substitute into my definitions
