Answer:

It will take them 20 years to make the same salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

Assume that they will have the same salary after x years

∵ Alex makes $30,000 a year at his job

∵ He gets a $2,500 a year raise every year

∵ He will work x years

→ That means his salary is the sum of a fixed amount and the raise times x

∴ His salary = 30000 + 2500(x) ⇒ (1)

∵ Sydney makes $40,000 a year

∵  He gets a $2,000 raise every year

∵ He will work x years

→ That means his salary is the sum of a fixed amount and the raise times x

∴ His salary = 40000 + 2000(x) ⇒ (2)

∵ They will make the same salary after x years

→ Equate (1) and (2)

∴ 30000 + 2500x = 40000 + 2000 x

→ Subtract 30000 from both sides

∴ 2500x = 2000x + 10000

→ Subtract 2000x from both sides

∴ 500x = 10000

→ Divide both sides by 500

∴ x = 20

∴ It will take them 20 years to make the same salary

Why does -2.4-(-7)have the same result as -2.4+7? Explain your reasoning.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

-2.4-(-7) has the same result as -2+7 because the negative sign and the minus sign cancel each other out. Think of it like this. If you cross the negative sign and the minus sign together, then it makes a plus sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

I gave a basic answer. You might have to elaborate more on this.
