Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is master's is $40 thousand less than twice that of an individual whose final degree is a bachelor's. Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn $110 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.

let x be the salary of individual with bachelor degree

Then the average salary of individual with Masters degree is:

(2x-40000)

the combined of two salaries is 110000:

x+(2x-40000)=110000

3x-40000=110000

3x=110000+40000

x=150000/3

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

step-by-step explanation:

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
