Find the salaries of each.
The governor of state A earns $53,325 more than governor of state B.
If the total of their salaries is $284,715, find the salaries of each.

A = B + 53325
A + B = 284715
(B + 53325) + B = 284715
2B + 53325 = 284715
2B = 284715 - 53325
2B = 231390
B = 231390 / 2
B = $115,695  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A = B + 53325
A = 115695 + 53325
A = $169,020  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
