Let R = Margarita's annual raise.
\n" ); document.write( "Then, \"60000+%2B+3R+=+70500\"
\n" ); document.write( "Or, \"3R+=+70500-60000+=+10500\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"R+=+10500%2F3+=+3500\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t is the number of years she's worked.
\n" ); document.write( "Her annual salary, S, = \"60000+%2B+3500%2At\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After 12 years her annual salary, S, = \"60000+%2B+3500%2A12\" = \"60000+%2B+42000\" = \"102000\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
