Find the average yearly salary of an architect and a lawyer. The average yearly salary of an architect is $_ thousand

Let x = salary of the architect, in thousands

Let 2x - 25 = salary of a lawyer, in thousands

2x + 2x - 25 = 206 (combined salaries, in thousands)

4x - 24 = 206

4x = 206 - 25 = 181

x = 45.25, in thousands.

The architect earns $45,250 yearly

The lawyer earns $65,500 yearly

If you want to set up a system of equations with 2 variables.

Let x = the salary of the architect, in thousands.

Let y = the salary of the lawyer, in thousands.

x + y = 206

y = 2x - 25

Solving by substitution will yield the same equation as above: x = 45.25 or $45,250

Then y = 2(45,250) - 25,000 = $66,500

94

step-by-step explanation:

average the numbers and use a variable to figure out the minimum to get a 90.

(79+94+91+92+x)/5=90

x = 94
