The Answer And How To Solve This Two Part Homework Assignment class=

Sagot :

Given:

The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

Combined, an architect and a lawyer earn $ 207 thousand.

Then, let the average yearly of an architect be: x

and let average yearly of a lawyer: 2x - 24000

- The average yearly salary of an architect

We have the expression:

[tex]x+(2x-24000)=207000[/tex]

Then solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+2x-24000=207000 \\ 3x-24000=207000 \\ 3x-24000+24000=207000+24000 \\ 3x=231000 \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{231000}{3} \\ x=77000 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer 1: $77 thousand

- The average yearly salary of a lawyer

Substituting the value of x:

[tex]2x-24000=2(77000)-24000=154000-24000=130000[/tex]

Answer 2: $130 thousand
