Step 1 :Let's denote the amount Carlos invested in the first account (with 5% interest) as x and the amount he invested in the second account (with 6% interest) as y.
Step 2 :We can set up two equations based on the information given in the problem: \(x + y = 10,000\) and \(0.05x + 0.06y = 530\).
Step 3 :We solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y.
Step 4 :The solution to the system of equations is x = 7000 and y = 3000.
Step 5 :This means that Carlos invested \$7000 in the first account and \$3000 in the second account.
Step 6 :Final Answer: Carlos invested \(\boxed{\$7000}\) in the first account and \(\boxed{\$3000}\) in the second account.
