Answer provided by our tutors
Let
a = the area of country A
b = the area of country B
The combined land area of countries A and B is 191,973:
a + b = 191973
Country A is larger by 573 square kilometers:
a = 573 + b
We have the following system of equations:
a + b = 191973
a = 573 + b
........
........
a = 96,273 km^2
b = 95,700 km^2
Country A is 96,273 km^2.
Country B is 95,700 km^2.
