Answer:

Governor of State B: $120,340; Governor of State A: $169,320

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of this problem, let's set the salary of State B's governor as x. That would make the salary of State A's governor equal to x+48980. The following lists out how to solve this problem.

Governor B salary + Governor A salary = $48980

x+x+48980=289660

2x+48980=289660

2x=240680

x=120340

120340+48980=169320

Let x = salary for governor of state A
Let y = salary for governor of state B

Then x = y + 48980, since gov. of state A earns this much more than governor of state B.

Therefore we have x + y = 289660. Substitute for x.

(y + 48980) + y = 289660
2y + 48980 = 289660
2y = 240680
y = $120340, which is salary for governor B.

Now we substitute y into x = y + 48980
x = 120340 + 48980
x = $169320, which is salary for governor A.

Answer:

Equation: y = \frac{7}{4} x

21/2 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 7 as y and 4 as x

7 = 4k

Find k

k = 7/4

Then plug k into th equation

y = 7/4 x

For the second part of the question:

Plug in x which is 6 into the bolded equation.

y = (7/4)(6) = 42/4 = 21/2 (simplified form)

21/2 cups of water
