Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]37000+2500n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

John makes $82,000 per year after 18 years

If he would have to get a raise of $2500 per year

Suppose he starts with a salary of [tex]x[/tex]

after the first year, his salary would be

[tex]\Rightarrow x+2500[/tex]

After 2 years, the salary would be

[tex]\Rightarrow x+2500+2500=x+2\times 2500[/tex]

Similarly, after n years salary is

[tex]\Rightarrow x+2500n[/tex]

For 18 years, it is

[tex]\Rightarrow x+2500\times 18=82,000\\\Rightarrow c=82,000-45,000=\$\ 37,000[/tex]

So, after n years of working salary is [tex]37,000+2500n[/tex]
