Answer 1

Answer:

ans of your question is 2660

Answer 2

Answer:

460

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+8x=3450

15x=3450

x=3450/15

x=230

salary of first employee =7×230=1610

salary of second employee =8×230 =1840

reduction from their salary by Rs. y

so, that

1610-y=5

1840-y=6

[1610-y]×6 = [1840-y]×5

9660-6y = 9200-5y

9660-9200 =6y-5y

460=y

reduction in each salary should be Rs 460
