Lenny makes $55,000 and is getting annual raises of $2,500. karl makes $62,000 with annual raises of $2,000. how many years, y, will it take for lenny and karl to make the same salary?

14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

represents number of years it will take for Lenny and Karl to earn same salary.

Lenny make $55,000 and annual raise is $2,500 per year.

So, in years Lenny would make in dollars =

Karl makes $62,000 with annual raises of $2,000 per year.

So, in years Karl would make in dollars =

We know that their salaries would be equal.

So, we have

subtracting both sides by

Subtracting both sides by 55000

Dividing both sides by 500.

∴ In 14 years Lenny and Karl would make same salary.

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
