Answer:
3.5 + 4.5 = 8
+ +
9.5 - 3.5 = 6
-----------------
13 8
We have to find the numbers whose sum (means sum of a and b) is 8.
So we have, a + b = 8, c - d = 6, a + c = 13 and b + d = 8
As per assumption;
⇒ a + b = 8
⇒ a = 8 - b...........(eq 1)
⇒ a + c = 13
Substitute value of a above
⇒ (8 - b) + c = 13
⇒ 8 - b + c = 13
⇒ - b + c = 5
⇒ c = 5 + b..........(eq 2)
Similarly, c - d = 6
Substitute value of c above
⇒ 5 + b - d = 6
⇒ b - d = 1
⇒ b = 1 + d...........(eq 3)
We have b + d = 8.
Now, put value of b i.e. of (eq 3) above
⇒ 1 + d + d = 8
⇒ 2d = 7
⇒ d = 7/2
⇒ d = 3.5
Now, substitute value of d in (eq 3)
⇒ b = 1 + 3.5
⇒ b = 4.5
Substitute value of b = 4.5 in (eq 2)
⇒ c = 5 + 4.5
⇒ c = 9.5
Substitute value of c = 9.5 in (a + c = 13)
⇒ a + 9.5 = 13
⇒ a = 13 - 9.5
⇒ a = 3.5
Therefore,
