Answer:

He will get more salary in job B

step by step Step-by-step explanation:

for job A


\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{y _(a) = 3000x _(a) + 500}} \\ { \rm{for \: 12 \: months : x _(a) = 12}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{y _(a) = 3000(12) + 500}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{y _(a) = 36500}}

for job B


\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{y _(b) = 2900x_(b) + 2000}} \\ { \rm{in \: 12 \: months : x _(b) = 12}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt {y _(b)= 2900(12) + 2000}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{y _(b) = 36800 \: dollars}}

→ hence:


{ \tt{ \therefore{y _(b) > y _(a) \: \: \: by \: 300 \: dollars}}}
