Question 1063649
.
Lyn gave half of his salary and 500 to his parents . then he spent half of his remaining salary and 1000 on rent. 
How much was his salary if he had 5600 left?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
0.5x + 500 to his parent.


Remaining is x - (0.5x + 500) = 0.5x - 500


The equation is 


x - (0.5x + 500) - 0.5*(0.5x - 500) - 1000 = 5600


Simplify and solve for x.
