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

Blank 1: If y is -5 when x is 2, that means the equation here is y = -2.5x. So, if x is 8, that makes the equation y = -2.5(8), which gives you -20.
Blank 2: If y is 3 when x is 1, the equation will be y = 3x. If x is 2, that will give you y = 3(2), which is 6.
Blank 3: If y is -7 when x is -21, the equation will be x = 3y. If y is 9, that will give you x = 3(9), which is 27.
Blank 4: If y is 5 when x is 4, the equation will be y = 1.25x. If y is 18, that makes the equation 18 = 1.25x, which is 14.4.
I hope this all helped!
Answer:
Part A - the independant variable is the monthly allowance, and the dependent amount is the one that he has to get As for in order to receive it.
Part B - y = 30x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
55/6.21 = x/1....55 mins to 6.21 miles = x min to 1 mile
cross multiply
6.21x = 55
x = 55/6.21
x = 8.86 minutes
