Question 65190
Write a system of two equations in two unknowns. Solve the system by using the substitution method. « Bill and Sue together earn $76,433 per year. If Bill earns $15,000 less than twice Sue’s salary, then how much does each person earn per year? 
----------------------------
B+S=76433
B+15000=2S
-----------
B+S=76433
B-2S=-15000
---------------
Subtract 2nd from 1st to get:
3S=91433
S=30477.77 (Sue's salary)
B=76433-30477.77=$45955.23 (Bill's salary)
---------
