Answer:

  • Architect - $83000
  • Lawyer - $128000

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Salary of a lawyer = l
  • Salary of an architect = a

According to the question we have:

  • l = 2a - 38000
  • l + a = 211000

Substitute l into the second equation and solve for a:

  • 2a - 38000 + a = 211000
  • 3a = 211000 + 38000
  • 3a = 249000
  • a = 249000/3
  • a = 83000

Find the value of l:

  • l = 211000 - 83000
  • l = 128000
