Answer 2

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this equation out I used a guess and check strategy. I looked at all combinations of digits that gave us a sum of 14. When I got to 86, and reversed the digits, I ended up getting 136. When I added 136 to 86 it was 222. We started with seven and seven, and then looked at eight and six and a six and eight. Eight in six was that right combination!

Hope this helps!!
