Answer:

99 and - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the 2 numbers, then

x + y = 87 → (1)

x - y = - 111 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term eliminates the y- term

2x = - 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 12

Substitute x = - 12 into (1)

- 12 + y = 87 ( add 12 to both sides )

y = 99

The 2 numbers are 99 and - 12

Joel made muffins, he gave 1/4 to his neighbor and 3/8 to his school how may muffins were left
jolli1 [7]
When you're adding fractions with two different denominators, the best thing to do is to find a common denominator;
In this case, 4 and 8 are both multiples of 8, and therefore, you've got to double the first fraction.
Doubling the first fraction gives you 2/8 and 3/8. You've then got to add these together, and this gives you 5/8 (as you only add the numerators)
As you're looking for what is left, you have to do 8/8- 5/8 (once again, only subtracting the numerators)
8/8- 5/8= 3/8
Therefore, 3/8 of the muffins are left.
Hope this helps :)
