Answer:

37 and -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x and other y

1 x + 1 y = 19 .............1

1 x -1 y = 55 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by 1

Multiply (2) by 1

1 x 1 y = 19

1 x + -1 y = 55

Add the two equations

2 x = 74

/ 2

x = 37

plug value of x in (1)

1 x + 1 y = 19

37 + 1 y = 19

1 y = 19 -37

1 y = -18

y = -18

37 and -18

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The value has increased by 8 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The value of a house has increased by $4,200 in the past year.

The value last year was $52,500.

Now, to find the percent increased.

Value of house = $52,500.

Value of house last year increased by = $4200.

So, to get the percent increased:

$\frac{Value\ of\ house\ last\ year\ increased\ by} {Value\ of\ house}\times 100.$

$=\frac{4200}{52500} \times 100$

$=0.08\times 100$

$=8\ percent.$

Therefore, the value has increased by 8 percent.
