10. Two professors were hired to begin work at the same
time. Professor A's contract called for a starting salary
of $50,000 with an increase of $1,500 after each year
of employment. Professor B's contract called for a start-
ing salary of $42,000 with an increase of $2,800 after
each year of employment. If y represents the number
of full years of employment (that is, the number of
yearly increases each professor has received), which of
the following equations could be solved to determine
the number of years until B's yearly salary equals A's
yearly salary?
F. 50.000 + 1,500y = 42,000 + 2,800y
G. 50,000+ 2,800y = 42,000 + 1,500
H. 1,500y + 2,800y = y.
J. 1,500y + 2,800y = 42,000
K. 1,500y + 2,800y = 50,000
