    Step-by-step explanation:

    Stella = 190 +.07 x where x is the sales

    Brianna = 407 +.035x

    Set them equal to determine the sales that makes the pay equal

    190 +.07 x = 407 +.035x

    Subtract. 035x from each side

    190 +.07 x -.035x = 407 +.035x-.035x

    190 +.035x = 407

    Subtract 190 from each side

    190-190 +.035x = 407-190

    .035x = 217

    Divide each side by. 035

    .035x/.035 = 217/.035

    x = 6200

    An equation that could be used:

    190 + 0.07x = 407 + 0.035x

    190 + 0.035 * = 407

    0.035x = 217

    Answer:

    x = 6,200

    Check:

    190 + 0.07 (6,200) = 407 + 0.35 (6,200)

    624 = 624
