Question

Find five pairs of whole numbers, such that when they are inserted into the equation below, the solution is 3.

Answer 1

For this case we have, according to the statement, the following equation:

$x + y = 3$

We must find 5 pairs of integers that meet the equation:

$(-1,4)\\-1 + 4 = -1 + 4 = 3$

$(1,2)\\1 + 2 = 3$

$(7, -4)\\7 + (- 4) = 7-4 = 3$

$(3,0)\\3 + 0 = 3$

$(5, -2)\\5 + (- 2) = 5-2 = 3$

Answer:

The pairs of integers can be:

$(-1,4)\\(1,2)\\(7, -4)\\(3,0)\\(5,-2)$
