Let x+500 represent the first year

For the $500 more than the previous year for 4 years, we would write:
(x+500)+(x+500+500+500)+(x+500+500+500+500)= 17,800

By adding the equation above, 4x+5000=17,800

4x=17,800-5000
4x=12,800
x=3,200

So the amount the man was paid in the first year is 3,200+500=3,700

15,800 because 500x the 4 years=2,000,17,800-2,000=15,800.so the answer is 15,800.

Solve using elimination.<br> 3x − 5y = 18 <br> -10x + 5y = 10
olga55 [171]

3x - 5y = 18 over

-10x + 5y = 10

Add them because the 5y's have the right symbols for us to add

-7x = 28

Divide

x = -4

Now you can plug in -4 for x in one equation, I would use the first equation!

3(-4) - 5y = 18

-12 - 5y = 18

Add 12

-5y = 30

Divide

y = -6

Your solutions are going to be:

x = -4

y = -6

To check your work plug x and y into one equation:

3(-4) - 5(-6) = 18

-12 + 30 = 18

18 = 18

Since 18 does equal 18 you know that your solution's work!
