F 45,000 x + 2,500 x = 54,000 x + 1,500 x G 45,000 x + 2,500 = 54,000 x + 1,500 H 45,000 + 2,500 x = 54,000 + 1,500 x J 45,000 x + 2,500 x = 54,000 x + 1,500

Answer 1

H) 45,000 + 2,500 x = 54,000 + 1,500x

Explanation:

Let the number of years be represented as x

For Jerry

Jerry has a new job and earns a salary of $45,000.Jerry will receive a salary increase of $2,500 per year,
