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.

The sum and difference of two numbers 2018-01-25
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

Two numbers 2008-07-19
From Jerry:
while driving in my car early this morning, i 'discovered' something and want to ask if there is an equation that would fit it...
Here it goes..... take any two numbers (with the exception of two of the same numbers), multiply the first number by 2, add the difference of the original two numbers, and the outcome will be the same as if you added the original two numbers together...
example: 3+5=8... thus, 3+3+(5-3)=8...
if you chose to reverse the numbers then..... 5+3=8... thus, 5+5-(5-3)=8

i know, simple stuff.. but i just want someone to tell me what exactly this is.. is there a 'law' that describes this?

Two numbers whose sum is 25 and whose product is 120 2008-07-10
From Michelle:
Solve the following problem in at least two different ways.
Find two numbers whose sum is 25 and whose product is 120.

I know how to solve this problem by creating two equations x+y=25 and xy=120 and then use substitution.

Are there any different ways of solving this problem?
