Answer:
The sum of two numbers is 18.
5 times the first number subtracted from 4/7 of the second number is 14.
First number --> x
Second number --> y
so
x + y = 18 --> x = 18-y
5x - (4/7)y = 14
so
5 (18-y) - (4/7)y = 14
90 - 5y - 4/7 y = 14
-5.57 y = 14-90
y = 13.64
so
x = 18 - 13.64
x = 4.36

Both millimeters and quarts are units for volume.
Answer:
h = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
7h-5(3h-8) = 72
Distribute
7h - 15h +40 = 72
Combine like terms
-8h +40 = 72
Subtract 40 from each side
-8h+40-40 = 72-40
-8h = 32
Divide each side by -8
-8h/-8 = -32/-8
h = -4
