Answer:

The average yearly salary of the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

Combined, an architect and a lawyer earn $ 210 thousand.

Now, to find the average yearly salary of an architect and a lawyer.

Let the average yearly salary of an architect be $x.$

So, the average yearly salary of the lawyer = $2x-24,000.$

Combined, architect and lawyer earn = $\$210,000.$

Now, to get the average salary of the architect and lawyer:

$x+(2x-24000)=210000$

$x+2x-24000=210000\\\\3x-24000=210000$

Adding both sides 24000 we get:

$3x=186,000\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\x=62000.$

The average salary of architect = $62,000.

Now, to get the average salary of lawyer by substituting the value of $x$ :

$2x-24000\\\\=2(62000)-24000\\\\=124000-24000\\\\=\$100,000.$

The average salary of lawyer = $100,000.

Therefore, the average yearly salary of the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.

20 shares at 10 1/2 (or 10.5) = 20 * 10.5 = 210

postnew [5]

For the question "Mike's closing costs will add up to 4 percent and he'll make a down payment of 20 percent on a house that costs $210,000. Over the life of his loan, he will pay $197,040.76 in monthly payments. What is the total cost of his house?" To obtain the total cost of the house, we first obtain the amount he paid as the closing costs and the down payment he paid which we will add to the total amount paid in monthly payments. Closing cost = 4% of $210,000 = 0.04 x 210,000 = $8,400 Down payment = 20% of $210,000 = 0.2 x 210,000 = $42,000 Total monthly payments = $197,040.76 Total cost of the house = $8,400 + $42,000 + $197,040.76 = $247,440.76
