1st strategy: Add the first two terms and the last two.
16+35 + 24+14
51 + 38 = 89
2nd strategy: add the first and last term and the middle 2 terms.
16 + 35 + 24 + 14
30 + 59 = 89
An equation does not always have a solution. Sometimes, an equation can have a variable that does not equal the remaining value on the other side. For example, root negative x could never equal a number squared.
√-x ≠ 14²
This equation cannot have a solution because you can't square any number to get a negative solution. Therefore, x= no solution.
