Question

Blanca earns a yearly salary of $55,000. Isabel earns a yearly salary of $63,000. Blanca will receive a salary increase of $3,700 per year, and Isabel will receive a salary increase of $2,900 per year.
Which equation can be used to find n, the number of years it will take Blanca to earn the same salary as Isabel?


55,000n + 3,700 = 63,000 + 2,900n

55,000n + 3,700n = 63,000n + 2,900n

55,000n + 3,700n = 63,000n + 2,900

55,000 + 3,700n = 63,000 + 2,900n

Answer 1

Answer:

last choice: 55,000 + 3,700n = 63,000 + 2,900n

Step-by-step explanation:

Blanca's salary now: 55,000

Adding $3,700 per year will add 3,700n in year n.

Her salary in year n will be 55,000 + 3,700n

Isabel's salary now: 63,000

Adding $2,900 per year will add 2,900n in year n.

Her salary in year n will be 63,000 + 2,900n

We set the two total salaries equal:

55,000 + 3,700n = 63,000 + 2,900n
