Answer:
??
Step-by-step explanation:

If
, then we can immediately cancel the factors of
:

Factorize the numerator and denominator:


Next, if
, then

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!
If we draw a diagonal which will also be a transversal DB, then we get ∠ADB is congruent to ∠CBD by Alternate interior angles.
It will be the first option.
