Oh, my! You don't understand even the most elementary algebra, do you?
What grade are you in?
2x = 48,500 means that 2 times some number is 48,500.
To solve this problem, divide both sides of the equation by 2.
x = 48,500 divided by 2 = 24,250
Therefore, her husband earns $24,250.
Lein earns $1,700 more than her husband. She earns $24,250 + 1,700 = $25,950.
