Answer:

Suppose~the~two~numbers~are~x~and~y.\\From~the~first~condition,\\x+y=-17...........(1)\\From~the~second~condition,\\x-y=41.............(2)\\Adding~eq^n(1)~and~eq^n(2),~we~get,\\x+y+x-y=-17+41\\or, 2x = 24\\or, x=12\\Substituting~x=12~in~eq^n(2),\\y = -17-x = -17-12 = -29

So,~the~two~numbers~are~12~and~-29.

Henry combines 7.49 litters of red paint with 6.26 litters of red paint and pours it in to 4 container with 0.43 litters of pain
11111nata11111 [884]
To find the answer we start by adding the contents of both containers together
7.49 + 6.26 = 13.75
Since we know that there is leftover paint we are going to subtract the leftovers from the total of combined paint
13.75 - 0.43 = 13.32
The combined paint is poured into 4 containers so we divide our combined total minus the leftovers by 4
13.32/4 = 3.33
Answer: There are 3.33 liters of paint in each container

\frac{5}{64}  is the answer 

In simplest form the answer would be \frac{5}{64} because it cant be divided any farther.
