Y-intercept: Let x = 0. Result: 5x=0, and x= 0. y-intercept is (0,0).
Similarly, x-int. is (0,0) (after going thru the same procedure: set y=0 and find x)

On each of three pieces of paper a three digit number is written two of the digits are covered . The sum is 826. What is the sum

Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram showing the three pieces of paper of three digit in which two of the letters were covered can be seen below.

From the diagram; we have;

243 , 1_7 , _26

Assuming the covered digits are _

The sum is 826.

i.e

243 + 1_7 + _26 = 826

The objective is to determine the sum of the two unknown digits

So; we need to think about what number can we add put in 1_7 to determine the covered digit in _26

From ; 1_7 , we have the choice to pick from 0 - 9

Assuming the covered digit is 0; let's check if we are right

So; 243 + 107 + _26 = 826

350 + _26 = 826

_26 = 826 - 350

_26 = 476

So; the covered digit is in the position of 4 , but it doesn't tally together

i.e 426 is not the same as 476, which makes our assumption to be wrong.

Let consider the covered digit to be 5 for example.

So; 243 + 157 + _26 = 826

400 + _26 = 826

_26 = 826 - 400

_26 = 426

The covered digit is in the position of 4

SO;

426 = 426

Here , our assumption is right.

As such , the covered digits are 5 and 4

The sum of the two covered digits are = 5 + 4 = 9
