Octopuses 2755

Both octopuses have 112 tentacles. The pink octopus has 20 tentacles less than the yellow. How many tentacles does a pink squid have, and how many tentacles does a yellow squid have?

Final Answer:

a =  46
b =  66

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=112 a = b20  a+(a+20)=112  2a=92  a=292=46  a=46
b=a+20=46+20=66
