Question

State A and state B are among the states with the most remaining drive in movie screens. State A has 4 more screens than state B. There are 46 screens total in two states. How many drive in movie screens remain in each state?

Answer 1

State A has 25 drive-in movie screens and State B has 21. You find this by guess-and-checking different numbers that you could add together to get 46. You want to do numbers that are relatively close, as a difference in 4 is not much at all. You can divide 46 by 2 and then play around from there.
