Answer:
John receives a pay of $3,500.00
Step-by-step explanation:
x = John's pay
x = 1/2x + 250 + 3/7x [1/2 = 7/14 and 3/7 = 6/14]
x = 13/14x + 250
x - 13/14x = 13/14x - 13/14x + 250 [1x = 14/14]
1/14x = 250 [multiply both sides by 14]
x = 3500
Check:
3500 = 1/2(3500) + 250 + 3/7(3500)
3500 = 1750 + 250 + 1500
3500 = 3500
10000 to 1000
I think it's 10 to 1 if you reduce it by 1000.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
1. x = -3.6
Add 1 on both sides.
18x = 23x + 18
Subtract 23x on both sides.
Combine like terms.
Divide the answer.
-5x = 18
x = -3.6
2. x = 11/3 (2.66666...)
Add 5 on both sides.
6x = 3x + 11
Subtract 3x on both sides.
Combine like terms.
Divide the answer.
3x = 11
x = 11/3
3. x = 23
Subtract 12 on both sides.
5x = 6x - 23
Subtract 6x on both sides.
Combine like terms.
Divide the answer.
-x = -23
x=23
(that's all.)
