Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Answer:
240naira
Step-by-step explanation:
The board measures 2½m by 1¼m
The area of the board is;
2½× 1¼ = 5/2 × 5/4 = 25/8 m²;
But 25/8 m² cost 750 naira;
Therefore 1m² cost 750 / 25/8
750 × 8/25 =
30 × 8

Sorry if these are not correct, but this is what i came up with
1. -36 is less
2. Decimal is 0.12 and fraction is 3/25
3. About 3 1/3 quartz of paint (not too sure)
4. Commutative property of addition
5. Associative Property of multiplication
6. Additive identity
7. Distributive property
8. Multiplicative Property of Zero
No Problem!
5p-14=8p+4
I assume this is the whole problem set up properly, so now, lets subtract the left side by 5p, and then the right side.
-14=3p+4
As you can see, the 5p cancels out on the left side, and the p leftover is what 8p-5p equals.
Now, subtract both sides by 4.
-18=3p
Now, simply divide both sides by 3 to equal
p= -6
The reason we do the divide and multiplying last is because doing it first would only make it much harder.
This is the simplest way I know of to do it. If you don't understand, just ask me.
Hope it helped!
