The average salary for computer progammers is $7740 less than twice the average salary for carpenters. Combined, their average salaries are $99000.Determine the average salary for each of these job.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = salary of a carpenter
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x-7740 = salary of a computer programmer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "[x + (2x-7740)]/2 = 99000
\n" ); document.write( "[3x-7740]/2 = 99000
\n" ); document.write( "3x-7740 = 198000
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 205740
\n" ); document.write( "x = $68580 (carpenter's salary)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To figure out the salary for a computer programmer:
\n" ); document.write( "2x-7740
\n" ); document.write( "= 2(68580)-7740
\n" ); document.write( "= 137160-7740
\n" ); document.write( "= $129420 (programmer's salary)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
