Answer:

River D - 2580 miles

River C - 2980 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of River D be represented with x

length of river C = 400 + x

total length of both rivers = 5560

x + 400 + x = 5560

2x + 400 = 5560

collect like terms

2x = 5560 - 400

2x = 5160

divide both sides of the equation by 2

x = 5160 / 2

x = 2580

length of river c = 400 + 2580 = 2980
