The architect earns $47000 yearly and the lawyer earns $68,000 yearly.

<h3>How to solve algebra problems?</h3>

Let x = salary of architect, in thousands

Let 2x - 26 be the salary of lawyer, in thousands

Thus, if their salary combined is $214 thousand, then we have the algebra expression;

2x + 2x - 26 = 214

4x - 26 = 214

4x = 214 - 26

4x = 188

x = 47, in thousands.

The architect earns $47000 yearly

The lawyer earns 2(47000) - 26000 = $68,000 yearly
