Answer 1

Answer:
`7170+2890x`

Explanation:

Given

Editor gets a raise of
`\$2890` each year

In her eighth year, she is making

Eighth years refers to 7 complete year

Suppose she starts with an amount of P

So, her pay after x years is

`\Rightarrow P+2890x`

for the eighth year i.e.
`x=7`

`\Rightarrow P+2890* 7=27400\\\Rightarrow P=27400-20230=\$7170`

after x years it is

`\Rightarrow 7170+2890x`
