Whose final degree is a doctorate is $39 thousand less than twice that of an American whose final degree is a Bacehlor's. Combined, two people with each of these degrees earn $126 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of each degree attained.

Explanation / Answer

Let doctorate has salary x thousand dollar
Then Bachelor has salary 2x-39
sum of 2 people of each = 126
2x + 2(2x-39) = 126
2x + 4x - 78 = 126
6x - 78 = 126
x = $34 thousand

Average salary of Doctorate = $ 34 thousand
Average salary of Bachelor's = $ (2x-39) = $ (2*34-39) = $29 thousand
