Answer:
<h3>a. x = 8 years</h3><h3>b. 52,000</h3><h3 />
Step-by-step explanation:
company A = 28,000 + 3,000 (x)
company B = 36,000 + 2,000 (x)
where x = no. of years.
- <u>company A = company B</u>
28,000 + 3,000 (x) = 36,000 + 2000 (x)
3,000 (x) - 2,000 (x) = 36,000 - 28,000
1,000 (x) = 8,000
x = <u>8,000</u>
1,000
<h3>x = 8 years</h3>
- plugin value of x = 8 into company A and B
company A = 28,000 + 3,000 (8)
<h3>company A = 52,000</h3>
company B = 36,000 + 2,000 (8)
<h3>company B = 52,000</h3>
