Question 1189008: Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a master's is $39 thousand less than twice that of an individual whose final degree is a bachelor's.

x = salary (thousands of dollars) for BA degree
2x-39 = salary for MA
(x)+(2x-39) = 111
Solve using basic algebra....
NOTE: The statement of the problem is very awkward. "...two people with each of these ..." sounds like two people with BA degrees and two other people with MA degrees.
