Answer:

\$17,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> that month's sales

y----> October earnings

we know that

8\%=8/100=0.08

y=0.08x+1,400 -----> equation A

y=2,800 -----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

2,800=0.08x+1,400

0.08x=2,800-1,400

x=1,400/0.08

x=\$17,500

wel
X = 3
y = -1 

get the x or y by itself first (second eq. is easier)
So, x + 2y = 1
          -2y     -2y
Now we get: 
x = -2y +1 Plug it into the other equation.

2x + 3y = 3
2(-2y +1) + 3y = 3
-4y + 2 + 3y = 3
-1y +2 = 3
+1y -3    -3  +1 y

y = -1 (plug into either eq to get x)

<span>x + 2y = 1
</span>x+2(-1) = 1
x-2=1
 +2  +2

x = 3

Assume that y varies directly with x, then solve

Well how many 12's are in 24 (forget the negative sing for a moment). Two right? Well that means multiply 4 by 2 and get 8, but where does that negative sign go? Just add it! It makes it so much easier taking it away and then putting it back. That is a trick for this problem. y=-8 while x=-24 Hoped I helped!
