Let x be the amount loaned at 7.5% so that 12000 - x is the amount loaned at 6%, both in dollars.
The interest in one year is $840 so we can write: 0.075x+0.06(12000-x)=840
Solve for x: 0.075x+720-0.06x=840
0.015x=120
x=1200.015
x=8000
So, the amount loaned at 7.5% is $8000 and the amount loaned at 6% is $4000
