Jerry has a new job and earns a salary of $45,000. Victoria has a new job and earns a salary of $54,000. Jerry will receive a salary increase of $2,500 per year, and Victoria will receive a salary increase of $1,500 per year. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of years it will take Jerry to earn the same salary as Victoria?

• 45,000x + 2,500x = 54,000x + 1,500x

• 45,000x + 2,500 = 54,000x + 1,500

• 45,000 + 2,500x = 54,000 + 1,500x

• 45,000x + 2,500x = 54,000x + 1,500

Two eighth-grade classes are selling raffle tickets to raise money.

-One class is selling tickets for $2.50 each and has already raised $350.

-The other class is selling tickets for $3.00 each and has already raised $225.

Which equation can be used to find t, the number of tickets each class needs to sell so that the total amount raised is the same for both classes?

• 3t + 350 = 2.50t + 225

• 350t + 2.50 = 225t + 3

• 2.50t + 350 = 3t + 225
