Brenda has a job offers at two companies. one company offers a starting salary of $75,000 with a raise of $2,500 each year. the company offers a starting salary of $55,000 with a raise of $5,000 each year. in how many years would brenda’s salary be the same with both companies ?

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of years

y: total salary

For company 1 we have:

For company 2 we have:

By the time both salaries are equal we have:

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

Brenda's salary would be the same with both companies in 8 years.
