Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn $117 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.

Nothing logarithmic about this


m=masters

b=bachelors


m = 2b-51000

m+b = 117000


Just solve for m and b.

You have 2 variables and 2 linear equations. So, use what you learned in Algebra 1.
