Translate to a system of equations: During two years in college, a student earned $9,500. The second year, she earned $500 more than twice the amount she earned the first year. Call the amount that the student earned in the first year f and the amount she earned in the second year s.

Answer :

Answer:

s = 2f + 500

Step-by-step explanation:

She earned twice the amount she got the first year. This is 2f.

Then, we learn she gets 500 more than this. 2f + 500.

This is equal to the second year amount, which is s.

Answer:

[tex]f+s = 9500[/tex]

[tex]s = 2f + 500[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

f is the amount he earned in the first year.

s is the amount he earned in the second year.

During two years in college, a student earned $9,500.

This means that: [tex]f+s = 9500[/tex].

The second year, she earned $500 more than twice the amount she earned the first year.

This means that [tex]s = 2f + 500[/tex].

So the system of equations is:

[tex]f+s = 9500[/tex]

[tex]s = 2f + 500[/tex]
