13,600 - 500x = 16,000 - 800x

Answer

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 13,600 - 500x = 16000-800x

13,600-500x = 16000-800x

+800 + 800

13,600 + 300x = 16,000

-13,600 - 13,600

_300x___ = _24,00___

300 300

x = 8

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

13,600 - 500x = 16,000 - 800x

Add 800x to each side

13,600 - 500x+800x = 16,000 - 800x+800x

13600 + 300x = 16000

Subtract 13600 from each side

13600 - 13600+300x = 16000-13600

300x = 2400

Divide each side by 300

300x/3 00 = 2400/300

x = 8
