Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

y= 13,600 -500x = 16000-800x

13,600-500x = 16000-800x

+800 +800

13,600 +300x = 16,000

-13,600 -13,600

_300x___ = _24,00___

300 300

x = 8

Answer 2

x=8

Explanation:

13,600 – 500x = 16,000 - 800x

Add 800x to each side

13,600 – 500x+800x = 16,000 - 800x+800x

13600 +300x = 16000

Subtract 13600 from each side

13600 -13600+300x = 16000-13600

300x =2400

Divide each side by 300

300x/3 00 = 2400/300

x = 8
