Solve one of the formulas for A, then substitute that into the other formula to solve for B, then substitute the solution for B into one of the formulas to solve for A.
Here is how:
Givens:
A+B=8
A-B=9
So:
If A+B=8 then A=8-B
Next, substitute this into the other formula...
A-B=9
(8-B)-B=9
(-B) - B = 1
(-2B) = 1
B= (- 1/2)
Next, substitute the solution for B into one of the formulas to solve for A....
A+B=8
A+ (-1/2) = 8
A = 8 and 1/2
So...
B= (- 1/2)
A = 8 and 1/2

5. Just do 9 minus 4. 5 plus 4 equals 9
13...... 9 plus 5 equals 14...... 14 minus 1 equals 13
(-9 x -8) + (-16) = (72) -16 = 56
5
9 - -3 = 9 + 3 = 12 12 - 8 = 4 9 - -3 - 8 = 4
