Sagot :

River B is 990 miles and River A is 2,540 miles.
a = 2b + 560
a = b + 1550
----------------------
a - 2b = 560
a - b = 1550
---------------------
a - 2b = 560
-2(a - b = 1550)
------------------------
a - 2b = 560
-2a +2b = -3100
-a = -2540
a = 2540
-----------------------
2540 = b + 1550
2540 - 1550 = b
990 = b
