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