let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then add them up.

Answer:
less than.
Step-by-step explanation:
.............
Let the two numbers be x and y.
x + y = 86
+
x - y = 12
_________
2x + 0 = 98
__________
2x = 98
x = 98/2
x = 49
From x + y = 86
49 + y = 86
y = 86 - 49
y = 37
The numbers are 49 and 37.
Answer:
The CPCTC theorem states that when two triangles are congruent, their corresponding parts are equal. The CPCTC is an abbreviation used for 'corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent'.
