32+20=52 so there are 52 people in all.
32/52 people are men.
we now have to subtract 1 from this fraction like so 32-1/52-1 since the magician took away 1 man from the audience (therefore reducing the amount of men as well as the audience as a whole) resulting in 31/51
we multiply 32/52 with 31/51 to get 248/663. simply turn this fraction into a percent by multiplying the quotient by 100 and rounding it to the nearest tenth to get 37.4%

Is it possible for two numbers to have a difference of 8 and a sum of 1?

topjm [15]

Answer: yes , it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y .Then , the sum of the two numbers will be x + y , and their difference will be x - y.

Combining the two , we have :

x + y = 1 ............................... equation 1

x - y = 8 ................................. equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method. From equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula ,

x = 1 - y ...................... equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2 ,

1 - y - y = 8

1 - 2y = 8

add 2y to both sides

1 = 8 + 2y

subtract 8 from both sides

1 - 8 = 2y

- 7 = 2y

divide through by 2

y = $\frac{-7}{2}$

y = - 3.5

substitute y = -3.5 into equation 3 to find the value of x , we have

x = 1 - y

x = 1 - ( - 3.5 )

x = 1 + 3.5

x = 4.5

Let us check :

x + y will be

4.5 + (-3.5) = 1

Also ,

x - y will be

4.5 - (-3.5)

⇒ 4.5 + 3.5 = 8
