How do I solve this????
1 answer:
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
hmm say "a" is the smaller, and "b" the greater
so "b" is "4 more than 5 times" "a"
so... 5 times "a" is 5*a or 5a
4 more than "that", will be "that" + 4
or
5a + 4
so.. whatever "a" is, "b" is 5a+4
now, their sum is 22, as opposed to "zz" hehe
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's "b"? well, b = 5a + 4

Answer:
You need four squares.
On the top left square, you put the number 20 over it, and the number 30 to its left. Put the number 600 in the square.
Next, the bottom left square. But the number 4 on the left side of the square, and put the number 80 in the square.
Now, the top right box. put the number 8 over it, and fill it with the number 240.
Last, fill the bottom right square with the number 32.
Keeping in mind that 29/6 is greater than 4, is actually 4 and 5/6, so the amount we'll "add" will be a negative one.
