Let A and B represent the governor's salaries of states A and B, respectively.

A - B = 53,435
A +B = 290,395

Add these two equations to eliminate B.
2A = 343,830
A = 171,915

B = A -53,435 = 118,480

The governor of state A has a salary of 171,915.
The governor of state B has a salary of 118,480.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Altogether they lost 150 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

X = Dante's pennies

Y = Mia's pennies

X + Y = 350                                       1/2 X = 2/3 Y

                                                                X = 4/3 Y

4/3 Y + Y = 350

7/3 Y = 350

Y = 350 * 3/7

Y = 50 * 3

Y = 150

X + 150 = 350

X = 200

                                                     1/2 * 200 = 2/3 * 150

                                                       100 .      =   100

1/2 * 200 = 100 -> Dante lost 100 pennies

1/3 * 150 = 50 -> Mia lost 50 pennies

Altogether they lost 150 pennies.

A rectangle is 5 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 70 cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. Round to the nearest
Naddika [18.5K]

Let the width = X, then the length would be 5x ( 5 times as long as the width).

The perimeter is adding the 4 sides.

x + x + 5x + 5x = 70

Combine the like terms:

12x = 70

Divide both sides by 12:

x = 70/12

x = 5.83

The width = 5.83 cm.

The length = 5 x 5.83 = 29.15

Now round each length to the nearest tenth:

5.8 and 29.2 cm.

The answer is d.

What is the measure of ZB?​
brilliants [131]

Answer:

∠ B = 116°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , that is

∠ B + 28° + 36° = 180°

∠ B + 64° = 180° ( subtract 64° from both sides )

∠ B = 116°
