The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5

x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

How do u regroup when u find the sum of 64+43

Anarel [89]

What we are going to do is use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY. This distributive the numbers, to make it easier to solve.

So we will break 64 up.

64 = 60 + 4

43 = 40 + 3

60 + 40 = 100

4 + 3 = 7

100 + 7 = 107

So, 64 + 43 = 107.
