Suppose the two numbers are x and y. Then x + y = 58 and x - y = 16 The second equation gives x = 16 + y Substituting this value of x into the first equation gives (16 + y) + y = 58 or 2y + 16 = 58 or 2y = 42 which gives y = 21. Then x = 16 + y gives x = 16 + 21 = 37 So the soln is x = 37, y = 21
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. In this instance, 16/21 / 8/9 is equal to 16/21 x 9/8 = 0.857142 recurring (that is, 0.857142857142...)
Let the two numbers be x and y. According to question, x * y = 80.....................(1) and x + y = 21.................................................(2) (1) implies that y=80/x......................................(3) Now, Substituting this value in equation (2) we get, x + 80/x=21 or x2 - 21x + 80=0. Solving this quadratic equation x=16 and x=5. If x=16, then (3) implies y=5 If x=5, then (3) implies y=16. Hence the two numbers are 16 and 5.

21 = 3 x 7 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
1 foot = 0.3048 meter 16 feety x 21 feet = (16 x 0.3048) meters x (21 x 0.3048) meters

16/21 = 0.7619 0.7619 x 100% = 76.2%
It is X*0.21 - 16
