Answer:

The two numbers are:

30 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 48

a - b = 12

From the first eq.

a = 48 - b

Replacing this last value in the second eq.

(48 - b) - b = 12

48 - 2b = 12

48 - 12 = 2b

36 = 2b

36/2 = b

18 = b

from the first eq.

a + 18 = 48

a = 48 - 18

a = 30

Check:

from the second eq.

a - b = 12

30 - 18 = 12

Mark drove 50 percent of the distance.
Lapatulllka [165]
Break everything into 8ths.

50% = 1/2=4/8

4/8+1/8=5/8
the remaining distance is 8/8-5/8. so 3/8, not 1/4

The price of an item has been reduced by 65% . The original price was $49
Basile [38]
Hey there!

To find the discount, just multiply the original price by the percent.

49*.65= 31.85(how much it was taken off)

Now subtract31.85 from 49 and you'll get
17.15

$17.15 is now the new price
