  1. 72 - 48 = 24.  24/2 = 12. 12 + 48 = 60.

    A: 12 & 60


  2. The answer is 60 and 12. i just fiddled around with it sorry

  3. 12 and 60

  4. x+y=72

    x-y=48

    combine

    2x+0y=120

    divide by 2

    x=60

    plug in

    60+y=72

    take 60 from both sides

    y=12

    confirm

    60-12=48

    :)

  5. It is 12 and 60, enough said, try it out.

  6. Sixty and twelve.

  7. x+y =72

    x-y =48

    2x=120

    x=60

    y=12

  8. a + b = 72

    a - b  = 48

    add equations

    2a = 120

    a = 60

    substitute a into first equation

    60 + b = 72

    b = 12
