Let x = 6 = 2y so
3(6 - 2y) + 14y = 8 so
18 - 6y + 14y = 8 so
8y = -10 and
$y = \frac{ - 10}{8} = - \frac{5}{4} \\ \\ since \: x = 6 - 2y \\ 6 - 2( \frac{ - 5}{4}) = x \: so \\ x = 6 + \frac{10}{4} = \frac{24}{4} + \frac{10}{4} = \frac{34}{4} = \frac{17}{2}$

0.0239 x 28 = .6692 (this is the amount of tax paid)
shoes + tax = total
$28 + 0.6692 = $28.6692 which rounds to $28.67 (money is always rounded to the hundredths place)
