Answer
There are 44,720 thousand personal computers in Italy.
There are 53,520 thousand personal computers in Russia.
Work Step by Step
Let $c$ be the personal computers in Italy.
The personal computers in Russia are $c+8800$.
$c+(c+8800)=98240$ $\longrightarrow$combine like terms
$2c+8800=98240$ $\longrightarrow$addition property
$2c+8800-8800=98240-8800$ $\longrightarrow$simplify
$2c=89440$ $\longrightarrow$multiplication property
$2c\div2=89440\div2$ $\longrightarrow$simplify
$c=44720$
$c+8800=44720+8800=53520$
