77 + 91 = 168

Answer:

77 and 91

Answer 2

Answer:

77 and 91

Step-by-step explanation:

So essentially, half 168 and half 14. You're left with 84 and 7. So, subtract 7 from 84 and add 7 to 84. You're left with 77 and 91. To verify, just add them both up and you'll see they equal 168. Then, subtract 77 from 91 and you'll see that 91 is 14 more than 77 :)
