Sagot :
Answer:
a) $168,760
b) $119,275
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, I believe you do $288,035 - $49,485. This equals $238,550.
Then divide this by 2 to get the salary for state B, which is $119,275 .
$168,760 remains, so it's the salary for state A.
Answer:
Governor of state A = 168,760
Governor of state B = 119,275
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 49485 + B Eq. 1
A + B = 288035 Eq. 2
A = Earns of governor of state A
B = Earns of governor of state B
Replacing Eq. 1 in Eq. 2:
(49485+B) + B =288035
2B + 49485 = 288035
2B = 288035 - 49485
2B = 238550
B = 238550/2
B = 119275
From eq. 1
A = 49485 + 119275
A = 168760
Check:
from eq. 2:
A + B = 288035
168760 + 119275 = 288035
