Let, the numbers = x,y

x+y= 24 1st eqn

x-y = 44 2nd eqn

24-y-y = 44

-2y = 44-24

y = 20/-2 = -10

substitute that in equation 1st x = 24+10 = 34

so, the numbers would be 34 & -10

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: ts 6 11 19 56

Laura, David, and Carlos served a total of 115 orders

David served 3 times as many orders as Carlos. David = 3x

Laura served 10 more orders than Carlos. let Carlos = x

How many orders did they each serve? Laura = x + 10

Carlos + David + Laura = 115

x + 3x + x+10 = 115

5x + 10 = 115

5x = 115 - 10

5x = 105

x = 21 Carlos

63 Davide

31 Laura

add then up 115 Total
