Profit for August: x
Profit for September: x - 22%x
Total Profit for August & September: $689,000
x + x - 22% x = 689,000
2x - .22x = 689,000
1.78x = 689,000
x = 689,000/1.78
x = 387,078.65

Answer:
17.5 or 35
Step-by-step explanation:
because 350/10=35
350/12=17.5
You can use the substitution method.
You substitute the first equation to the second equation to get the value of x.
x + 3y = -14
x + 3(2x) = -14
x + 6x = -14
7x = -14
x = -14/7 = -2
Substitute the value of x to the first equation.
y = 2(-2) = 4
