The sum and difference of two numbers 2018-08-30
From Saranya:
Hi,

The question is to find the numbers from sum and difference.
The Sum = 14 and the difference = 2

I found in this web site some useful answers. but my kid is going second grade only. She don't know how to do a division or multiplication.
So can you please explain on how to find the answer using only the Addition and Subtraction.

Thanks in advance.

From Ali:

Hello,
I was looking at the original question that was posted and answered by
your team:
http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.07/s/donna1.html

I used the 7 and 4 as example and not looking for 39 per original
question:

A=7
B=4

7+ 4 =11 and 7-4 = 3

We end up with 11 +3 = 14

A= 14/2 give use 7

B = how do you solve for B or 4 with out knowing anything about 3 or any other numbers ?

Thank you
Ali
