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:
1) 2x - y = 26.
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hillary is making a blanket for her mom.
Let the total blanket = 1
Three-fourths of the blanket is green and the rest is yellow.
The fraction for the rest(yellow portion) = 1 - 3/4
The Lowest Common Denominator is 4
Hence,
4 - 3 /4 = 1/4
Two-thirds of the yellow part has her name on it.
The fraction of the blanket that will have her name on it is calculated as
2/3 of 1 /4
= 2/3 × 1/4
= 1/6
