Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10m-2/5=9 and 3/5
10m-2/5=9.6 (where 9 and 3/5 is equal to 9.6)
50m-2=48 (i multiplied 10m by 5 and 9.6 by 5)
50m=50 ( i added 2 to both sides)
m=1 ( i divided by 50 to both sides to find m)

I am doing with Question Number 2
Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'.
According to the question, the product of two numbers is 14.

So, xy=14 (Equation 1)
Now, one of the numbers is 3 ½ times the other.
So, 
(Equation 2)
Substituting the value of 'x' from equation 2 in equation 1, we get



So, y= 2 and -2
So,
and 
x=7 and -7
Numbers are 2,7 and -2,-7.
Sum of numbers 2 and 7 = 9
Sum of numbers -2 and -7 = -9.
