Let
\n" ); document.write( "Daughter's monthly salary = x
\n" ); document.write( "Sylvia's monthly salary =2x-500
\n" ); document.write( "Given
\n" ); document.write( "Together they earn = $3,400
\n" ); document.write( "Daughter's monthly salary + Sylvia's monthly salary = 3400
\n" ); document.write( "x+(2x-500)=3400
\n" ); document.write( "x+2x-500=3400
\n" ); document.write( "3x-500=3400
\n" ); document.write( "3x=3400+500
\n" ); document.write( "3x=3900
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 3 both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "x=3900/3
\n" ); document.write( "x=1300
\n" ); document.write( "Daughter's monthly salary = $1300
\n" ); document.write( "Sylvia's monthly salary =2(1300)-500=2600-500=$2100\r
