X+y=62 ; x-y=12 Solve for x in one equation and plug that value into the other equation. ===> x=12+y ; 12+y+y=62 Subtract 12 to both sides (2y=50), then divide by 2 to find y (y=25). Now, plug 25 as y into x=12+y, getting x=37. Your two numbers are 37 and 25.
Maybe solve by dividing. I think 5/6. Sorry math isn’t my strong suit. I’m good at reading.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
Because the sum of the angles in the triangle is 180°...
(x+6)+(3x-16)+x=180
5x-10=180
5x=190
x=38°
Because we want m<M, we want 3x-16.
3x-16=3(38)-16=98°
answer: 98°
Two negatives <em>do not </em>equal a positive when adding. If you're in debt and you add more debt, does that get you out of debt?
Two negatives <em>do </em>equal a positive when you're multiplying them together though. This makes sense if you imagine multiplication as squishing or stretching a particular number on the number line. For example, imagine multiplying 2 x 1/2 as <em>squishing </em>the number 2 two times closer to 0. When you multiply 2 by a negative number, say, -1, you squish it so far down that you <em>flip it to the negative side of the number line</em>, bringing it to -2. You can imagine a similar thing happening if you multiply a number like -4 by -2. You squish -4 down to zero, and then <em>flip it to the positive side</em> and stretch it by a factor of 2, bringing it to 8.
