    The governor of state A earns $ 166,165, and the governor of state B earns $ 116,555

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the governor of state A salary = x + 49610

    the governor of state B salary = x

    together : 282720 = x+49610 + x

    282720 = 2x + 49610 subtract 49610 from both sides

    282720-49610 = 2x

    233110 = 2x divide by 2

    x = 116555

    plug in x in the governor of state A salary = x + 49610 = 116555 + 49610 = 166,165
