    Let A and B represent the governor's salaries of states A and B, respectively.

    A - B = 53,435

    A + B = 290,395

    Add these two equations to eliminate B.

    2A = 343,830

    A = 171,915

    B = A - 53,435 = 118,480

    The governor of state A has a salary of 171,915.

    The governor of state B has a salary of 118,480.
