Answer:

First ?: 3

Second ?: 2

Explanation:

Do the inverse operation of what is shown to get the answer.

First ?:

-4 - ? = -7

-7 + 4 = -?

-3 = -?

3 = ?

Second ?:

? + 3 = 5 (Two negatives in a row make a positive.)

5 - 3 = ?

2 = ?

I hope this helps! \(★ω★)/

All we need to do is get the ? by itself in both equations.

-4 - ? = - 7

-? = -7 + 4

-? = -3

? = 3

? - ( -3) = 5

? + 3 = 5

? = 5 - 3

? = 2
