Answer:
2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 26
5 * 7 + 1 * 8 = 43
Explanation:
Given
_ * _ + _ * _ = _ _
Required
Fill in the boxes with digits 0 to 9
From the question we understand that the result must be two digits i.e. _ _
To solve this, we'll make use of trial by error method:
Fill the first two boxes wit 2 and 3: _ * _ becomes 2 * 3
Fill the next two boxes with 4 and 5: _ * _ becomes 4 * 5
So,we have
2 * 3 + 4 * 5
6 + 20
26
Hence, the first combination is 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 26
Another possible combination is:
Fill the first two boxes wit 5 and 7: _ * _ becomes 5 * 7
Fill the next two boxes with 1 and 8: _ * _ becomes 1 * 8
So,we have
5 * 7 + 1 * 8
35 + 8
43
Hence, another combination is 5 * 7 + 1 * 8 = 43
Note that; there are more possible combinations
