The value of x is 18,000.
Guy's pay : g(x) = 185 + 0.03x
Jim's pay : f(x) = 275 + 0.025x
for their weekly pay to be the same: Guy's pay is equal to Jim's pay.
185 + 0.03x = 275 + 0.025x
0.03x - 0.025x = 275 - 185
0.005x = 90
0.005x / 0.005 = 90 / 0.005
x = 18000
To check:
Guy's pay = Jim's pay
185 + 0.03(18000) = 275 + 0.025(18000)
185 + 540 = 275 + 450
725 = 725
Guy's pay : g(x) = 185 + 0.03x

185 + 0.03x = 275 + 0.025x
0.03x - 0.025x = 275 - 185
0.005x = 90
0.005x / 0.005 = 90 / 0.005
