Question

Brenlyn's boss told her that once she has worked with the company for 10 years, her salary will be increased to 3 times what she makes now plus $2,000. If s represents her original salary, Which expression represents what her salary will be after 10 years at the company?

Answer 1

3s + 2000 = x

Explanation:

So, her original salary, s, will be tripled after 10 years. Hence 3 multiplied by "s" her original salary. Then you see the keyword "plus" 2000. So you would just add on to that. That's how you get 3s + 2000 = x (her salary after 10 years.)
