Use what we know to make equations in order to solve for each governor's salary.
A=governor of state A
B=governor of state B
A+b=283,910. (Their salaries combined)
A=B+50,440 (A earns 50,440 more than B)
Sub A into the original formula to solve for B
B+50,440+b=283,910
2B=283,910-50,440
2B=233,470
B=116,730
Sub B into the formula that's equal to A
A=B+50,440
A=116,735+50,440
A=167,175
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression is
x^2 - 4
This is a quadratic expression.
To find the solution, we will equate the the expression to zero. It becomes
x^2 - 4 = 0
Add 4 to the left hand side of the equation and the right hand side of the equation. It becomes.
x^2 - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4
x^2 = 4
Take square root of the right hand side of the equation and left hand side of the equation. It becomes
√x^2 = √4
x = ± 2
x = 2 or x = - 2
Answer:
For functions, the two notations mean the exact same thing, but "f (x)" gives you more flexibility and more information. You used to say "y = 2x + 3; solve for y when x = –1". Now you say "f (x) = 2x + 3; find f (–1)" (pronounced as "f-of-x equals 2x plus three; find f-of-negative-one").
