which equation can be used to find x, the number of years it will take jerry to earn the same salary as victoria?

a
218x10

b
205x10

c
205x10

d
211x10

45000 + 2500x = 54000 + 1500x

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry has a new job and earns a salary of $45,000 and she will receive a salary increment of $2500 per year.

Now, Victoria has a new job and earns a salary of $54,000 and she will receive a salary increment of $1500 per year.

If after x years their salary becomes the same, then  

45000 + 2500x = 54000 + 1500x

⇒ 1000x = 9000

⇒ x = 9 years. (Answer)
