    Answer:

    1-year: $2200, 2-year: $3200, 3-year: $6600

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assume y = Amount invested for 1 year.

    y + 1000 = investment amount for 2 years

    12000 - (y + y + 1000) = amount invested for 3 years

    11000 - 2y = amount invested for 3 years

    Total interest

    Multiplying each by its corresponding rate

    (0.02 * y) + (0.05 * (y+1000)) + (0.06 * (11000-2y)) = 600

    0.02y + 0.05y + 50 + 660 - 0.12y = 600

    -0.05y + 710 = 600

    -0.05y = 600 - 710

    -0.05y = - 110

    y = 2200

    Therefore first year = y = $2200

    Investment for 2 years = y + 1000 = 2200 + 1000 = $3200

    Investment for 3 years = 11000 - 2y = (11000 - (2*2200)) = (11000 - 4400) = $6600
