Bachelor's degree salary = $53000

Master's degree salary = $66000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Let Salary of bachelor's degree holder = x

Salary of Master's degree holder = 2x - 40000

Master's salary + bachelor's salary = $119,000

Hence,

Master's salary + bachelor's salary = 119,000

2x - 40000 + x = 119,000

3x = 119000 + 40000

3x = 159000

x = 159000 / 3

x = $53,000

Bachelor's degree salary = $53,000

Master's degree salary ; 2x - 40000 ; 2(53000) - 40000 = $106,000 - $40,000 = $66000

Lunna [17]
To solve this problem we first call x = number of action figures, y = number of dolles. A system of two equations with two unknowns must be made to describe the problem. The system is the following:
 (x + 1) + y = 13
 1/2 * x = y.
 Then solving the system we have that x = 8 and y = 4.
 Since we know that the number of action figures is twice as many dolls plus one, then x = 8 + 1 = 9.
 Thus,
 dollos = 4
 action figures = 9

Scarlet has $85 to spend at the pet store. She is definitely buying a catfish for $12, a rainbowfish for $13, and a betta fish f
ikadub [295]

Subtract the total of the 3 fish she is buying from the amount of money she has:

85 - (12 + 13 + 14) = 85 - 39 = 46

She has $46 to spend on crabs.

Divide the amount she has to spend by the price on one crab:

46 / 8 = 5.75

Since it isn't a whole number you need to round down, since she cant buy 0.75 of a crab.

She has enough money to buy 5 crabs.
