Answer:

a = 22

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be represented as a and b.

a + b = 29

a - b = 15

Using elimination method

Add both equations

2a = 44

Divide both sides by 2 to get a

2a/2 = 44/2

a = 22

Now substitute a = 22 in any of the equations to get b .

Using the first equation, we have

a + b = 29

22 + b = 29

Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation

22 - 22 + b = 29 - 22

b = 7

Therefore the two numbers are 22 and 7

Mrs. Taylor bought 16⅓ yards of material. She used 5¾ yards. How much material does she have left? *
raketka [301]

Answer:

10\frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you want to do is find the common denominator for \frac{1}{3} and \frac{3}{4}. You do this by multiplying to denominators together, so 3*4=12.

Next, multiple the numerators with the opposite denominator. 1*4=4 and 3*3=9.

Now you are left with \frac{4][12] and \frac{9}{12}.

Add those back to your numbers

16\frac{4}{12} - 5\frac{9}{12} = 10\frac{7}{12}
