Answer 1

To find Bilquis' salary after working for various years at the company, we can create a table and derive a general equation.

Starting Salary: $35,000
Annual Raise: $2,000

### Table of Values

| Number of Years at the Company (n) | Bilquis' Salary (S) |
|-------------------------------------|---------------------|
| 0 | 35,000 |
| 1 | 37,000 |
| 2 | 39,000 |
| 3 | 41,000 |

### Explanation of the Calculation
- After 0 years: \( S = 35,000 + 0 \times 2,000 = 35,000 \)
- After 1 year: \( S = 35,000 + 1 \times 2,000 = 37,000 \)
- After 2 years: \( S = 35,000 + 2 \times 2,000 = 39,000 \)
- After 3 years: \( S = 35,000 + 3 \times 2,000 = 41,000 \)

### Equation for Salary
To express Bilquis' salary \( S \) in terms of the number of years worked \( n \), we can use the following equation:

\[
S(n) = 35,000 + 2,000n
\]

Here, \( n \) is the number of years Bilquis has worked for the company.

### Final Answer
\[
\text{S}(n) = 35,000 + 2,000n
\]
