Question 1173012: In a non-leap year, the city of Montreal experienced 12 days less frost than the city of Quebec. In all, the two cities experienced 224 days of frost. How many frost-free days did the city of Montreal experience that year? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
Q - M = 12 days
Q + M = 224 days
Add the equation and get 2Q = 12 + 224 = 236; Q = 236/2 = 118.
Then from the second equation M = 224 - 118 = 106.
ANSWER. 106 days for Montreal.
