First of all, x>y
x-y=40
and
x+y=66
add them equations together to eliminate

x-y=40
<u>x+y=66 +</u>
2x+0y=106

2x=106
divide by 2
x=53

sub back
x-y=40
53-y=40
minus 53 both sides
-y=-13
y=13


the numbers are 53 and 13

Help! plz and thx! what is 4:08 - 1:15 = ?:? plz, help WITH AND WITHOUT REGROUPING thx!!!!!!! I will give u the brainiest! plz a

Answer:

2:53

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe that you are subtracting times here, so have in mind that if the first number indicates hours, and the second number minutes, and you are asked to subtract more of one quantity (minutes for example) than what you have, you will need to convert some of the hours into minutes.

Recall that 1 hour equals 60 minutes.

in the difference   4:08 minus 1:15, you sre expected to subtract minutes from minutes and hours from hours. Now the number of minutes you need to subtract from 08 is 15 (larger than 08) so we need to convert 1 hour into minutes in the first expression, and then (with enough minutes to deal with), we can subtract:

4:08 is the same as 3:68 where we converted 1 hour to 60 minutes and added those 60 minutes to the existing 8 .

Now the difference can be performed:

3:68 - 1:15 = (3-1):(68-15) = 2:53
