Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
L=average yearly salary of a lawyer and
A=average yearly salary of an architect then,
Since the average yearly salary of a lawyer is $37 thousand less than twice that of an architect, we can write it as
Since an architect and a lawyer earn $212 thousand we can write it as
If we replace L with (2×A - $37000) in the above equation:
A+L= A + (2×A - $37000) = 3×A - $37000 = $212000
that is 3×A = $212000 + $37000 = $249000
so A= [tex]\frac{$249000 }{3}[/tex]= $83000
from here L=$212000 - $83000 = $129000
