I have a question, Its asking me to use 4, 5, 3, and 2 only once in an equation to get 1, 3, 6, and 8. please help!
you have to use 2,3,4,and 5 in one equation. :(
3(2+4-5) = 3
2+3-4+5 = 6
2*(3-4+5) = 8
See what you can do for 1.
To solve this problem, we need to use the given numbers (4, 5, 3, and 2) exactly once in an equation to obtain the target values (1, 3, 6, and 8).
Let's start by breaking down the problem into four separate equations:
Equation 1: Using the numbers 4, 5, 3, and 2 to get the result of 1.
Equation 2: Using the numbers 4, 5, 3, and 2 to get the result of 3.
Equation 3: Using the numbers 4, 5, 3, and 2 to get the result of 6.
Equation 4: Using the numbers 4, 5, 3, and 2 to get the result of 8.
We'll solve each equation separately:
Equation 1: To obtain 1, we can subtract the number 3 from 4: 4 - 3 = 1.
Equation 2: To obtain 3, we can subtract the number 2 from 5: 5 - 2 = 3.
Equation 3: To obtain 6, we'll need to perform multiple operations. One possible solution is (4 + 2) x (3 - 5) = 6.
Equation 4: To obtain 8, we can multiply the number 4 by the sum of 3 and 5: 4 x (3 + 5) = 8.
So, one possible solution to the problem is:
Equation 1: 4 - 3 = 1
Equation 2: 5 - 2 = 3
Equation 3: (4 + 2) x (3 - 5) = 6
Equation 4: 4 x (3 + 5) = 8
