    x = $4400

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If we want their pay to be the same, the equations have to be equal

    g (x) = 240+0.06x = f (x) = 130+0.085x

    240 +.06x = 130+0.085x

    Subtract. 06x from each side.

    240 +.06x -.06x = 130+0.085x-.06x

    240 = 130 +.025x

    Subtract 130 from each side

    240-130 = 130-130 +.025x

    110 =.025x

    Divide each side by. 025 to isolate x

    110/.025 =.025x/.025

    4400 = x
