Answer 1

well since there is 14 more books than magazines than you can subtract 14 from 98 and you get 84 then divide this by 2 getting you 42 magazines and 56 books you can check this by doing 56+42=98 THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 42 Magazines

Answer 2

Hello there,

14 + m = b

m + b = 98

———————

14 + m = b

- m - m

b - m = 14

+ b + m = 98

2b = 112

/2 /2

b = 56

98 - 56 = 42

Answer: 42 magazines
