Hi! I need some help, and this is due really soon! If you could answer any one of these, it would be real swell. Anyone can answer as long as there's an explanation. ( I know these might be easy for you guys but I'm having a lot of trouble) Thank you! Have a nice day :)

Step-by-step explanation:

first let's find all the possible combinations excluding 6+6 to get 12 using addition, we exclude 6+6 because we can't have the same integer for different variables. these are 0+12, 1+11, 2+10, 3+9, 4+8, and 5+7(also the other way around but i start with these). using common sense, I started higher because there is no way d = 0 and e= 12, so i went from 5+7 down. through trial and error and some luck, 5+7 was the correct combination. let's insert the numbers with their variables. d = 5 and e = 7. now we figure out, what minus 5 is 7? if you learned fact families in kindergarten, you'd know to find this out you add 5+7, which is 12. now we divide 12 by 2, because it's the same number added together to get this number, so you now get 6+6. does the equation make sense? (6+6) - 5 = 7, that checks out, and 5+7=12.
