Answer:

<h2>x=50000 dollars ( the average salary of bachelor degree)</h2><h2>the average salary of Masters degree = 2x-40000</h2><h2>2(50000)-40000=60000 dollars</h2><h2></h2><h2>step by step explanation :</h2>

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

<h2>x=50000 dollars ( the average salary of bachelor degree)</h2><h2>the average salary of Masters degree = 2x-40000</h2><h2>2(50000)-40000=60000 dollars</h2>
