How do you make the answer 10 using the numbers from either set only once in any order?
set 1) 5, 6, 2
set 2) 3, 4, 6
To find a combination of numbers from either set that adds up to 10, we can use a simple trial and error approach. Here's one way to do it:
1. Start with set 1: 5, 6, 2.
- Try adding the numbers together: 5 + 6 + 2 = 13. This is not equal to 10, so this combination does not work.
- Let's try a different combination: 5 + 2 + 6 = 13. Again, this is not equal to 10.
2. Now, let's move on to set 2: 3, 4, 6.
- Try adding the numbers together: 3 + 4 + 6 = 13. This combination also does not equal 10, so we need to try a different combination.
- Let's rearrange the numbers: 6 + 4 + 3 = 13. This combination still does not yield 10.
From the trial and error approach above, we can see that there is no combination of numbers from either set that adds up to 10. Therefore, it is not possible to make the answer 10 using the numbers from either set only once in any order.
