Well, let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
so a * b = ab
ok... now, if we reduce "a" by 25%, that means the new size is just 75% of the old one, how much is 75% of a? well, (75/100) * a, or 0.75a
now let's reduce "b" by 50%, that means the new size is 50% or half, how much is 50% of b? well (50/100)*b, or 0.5b

now, the new size of "ab" is just 0.375ab... well, let's revert the decimal format by simply multiplying by 100
0.375 * 100, is 37.5%
the new size of "ab" is just 37.5% of the original "ab"
it decreased by 100 - 37.5 or 62.5%
0.125 yea there many ways
I think that i got it but at the same time not sure but the value of a+b should be 14+20
The answer is b 5x-y=7 2x+y=0
The answer for this is 42. just subtract 152 from 68 and then divide that by 2.
