Answer:

10 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the first number x and he second number y. This will make the equation set up process easier.

Since the sum of the two numbers is 12, you could make the first equation: x+y=12

One number is less than the other so the next equation would be: y=x-8

You can substitute y in the first equation to have x+(x-8)=12

Add the two x's to have 2x and add 8 from both sides (add 8 to both the 12 and 8 to get it to the opposite side of the equal sign to x. This would look like: 2x=20.

Divide 2 by both sides to get 10.

Now you can plug in 2 in place of x in the very first equation again and subtract from both sides to get 2.

Maryland had $(62xsquared + x - 4) on mondays she spent $(11x squared - 33) on a pair of gloves how much money did she have left
Anton [14]

Answer:

$( 51x^2 + x + 29).

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount she had left = original amount - amount spent on the gloves

=  62x^2 + x - 4 - (11x^2 - 33)   (note we place the amount spent on gloves in parentheses because we have to subtract the whole amount)

Now we distribute the negative over the parentheses:

= 62x^2 + x - 4 - 11x^2 + 33     ( note - 33 becomes -33*-1 = +33)

Now simplifying like terms:

= 51x^2 + x + 29  (answer).
