Question

A + B

Answer 1

Answer:

A= 0.5 and B= 4040

Step-by-step explanation:

If you write out the equation and rearrange a little it gets easier to understand.

( a + b) + (a*b) + (a - b)  you can rewrite this as

a + b + a - b + (a*b)  this is the same as 2a + ab = 2021

The way I looked at it is to figure out how to get that number 1 at the end.

The number 2020 is easy to get to.  How can you get the number 1 using either 2a or ab.

I looked at a = 0.5.   2 times 0.5 would be 1.

So now what would b have to be?  We can get the 1 at the end with the 2a part of the equation so now we have to get ab = 2020.

b = 2020/a  which using our a = 0.5, you can see that b would have to equal 4040.  Test it all out in your equation.

0.5 + 4040 + (0.5 * 4040) + 0.5 - 4040

4040.5 + (2020) - 4039.5 = 2021

So A = 0.5  and B = 4040
