    Let x represent the amount Betty invested at 15%. The (2x+237) is the amount Betty has invested at 13%. Her total earnings are ...

    x*0.15 + (2x+237) * 0.13 = 1688.03

    0.41x + 30.81 = 1688.03

    x = (1688.03 - 30.81) / 0.41 = 4042.00

    Betty has $4042.00 invested at 15%.

    Betty has $237 + 2*4042 = $8321.00 invested at 13%.
