Answer:
John receives a pay of $3,500.00
Step-by-step explanation:
x = John's pay
x = 1/2x + 250 + 3/7x [1/2 = 7/14 and 3/7 = 6/14]
x = 13/14x + 250
x - 13/14x = 13/14x - 13/14x + 250 [1x = 14/14]
1/14x = 250 [multiply both sides by 14]
x = 3500
Check:
3500 = 1/2(3500) + 250 + 3/7(3500)
3500 = 1750 + 250 + 1500
3500 = 3500
