Answer: For the first one: P=-60

The second one: m=4

Explanation:

134+p=74

You move to the right and you change the sign

Like this: p=74-134

Then you Calculate the difference

So p=-60 which is your answer

The second one: 25รท8+m=7 1/8

You divide the numbers like this:3.125m=7 1/8

Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.. like this: 3.125+m=57/8

Move constant to the right and change the sign

Like this: m=57/8 - 3.125

Convert the decimal into a fraction

m=57/8-25/8

Then you Calculate the difference

So it will be m=4 which is your answer

Let me know if this helps
