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!

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

width = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangular volume = height * width * length

1200 = 4 * w * (20 + 4)

1200 = 4 * w * 24

1200 = 96w

12.5=w

Which equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y =12 and passes through point -2,4
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -5/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, we first need to find the slope of the original line. We can do that by solving for y.

5x + 2y = 12

2y = -5x + 12

y = -5/2x + 6

Now that we have a slope of -5/2, we know the new slope will be the same since parallel lines have the same slope. So we can use it along with the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -5/2(x + 2)

y - 4 = -5/2x - 5

y = -5/2x - 1

Point A is located at (2, 3) on the coordinate plane. Point A is reflected over the x-axis to form point B and over the y-axis t
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if point A is on (2,3) and you reflect it over the x axis point B would be located at (2,-3).

Then over the y axis point C would be located at (-2,-3), then reflecting that over the x axis point D is (-2,3)

<em><u>Points</u></em>

__________

A. (2,3)

B. (2,-3)

C. (-2,-3)

D. (-2,3)

__________

So graphing all these points we get a rectangle.

Because it has 4 sides that are 90 degrees and the sides opposite from each other are the same.
