Mei's salary starts at $16,000 per year with annual raises of $15,000. Janet's starting salary is $19,300 with annual raises of $950. After how many years will the two women be earning the same salary.

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations for what each person earns and make the number of years be represented by x:

Mei's salary:

16,000 + 15,000x

Janet's salary:

19,300 + 950x

To find the number of years x set both equations equal to each other and solve for x:

16,000 + 15,000x = 19,300 + 950x

- Subtract 950x on both sides to move x to one side

16,000 + 550x = 19,300

- Subtract 16,000 from both sides

550x = 3300

- Divide by 550 on both sides

x = 6 years
