In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.
We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:
x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3
We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:
x = -3 * 3 = -9
So the answer would be 84,000. hope that helped
Answer: 
============================================
Work Shown:

---------------
Explanation:
The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.
Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)
Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).
Equation:
500-30x=130+20x
Since you want to find when they are the same, you put an equal sign. Also, since one is gaining and the other is losing, you have an addition and subtraction sign.
Solution:
370= 50x
x=7.4
