Answer 1

Answer: $7170+2890x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Editor gets a raise of $\ 2890$ each year

In her eighth year, she is making $\ 27,400$

Eighth years refers to 7 complete year

Suppose she starts with an amount of P

So, her pay after x years is

$\Rightarrow P+2890x$

for the eighth year i.e. $x=7$

$\Rightarrow P+2890\times 7=27400\\\Rightarrow P=27400-20230=\ 7170$

after x years it is

$\Rightarrow 7170+2890x$
