Answer:
Let us give each number a variable .
THEREFORE ;
ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS ;
A + B = 8 ----(1)
C × D = 9 ----(2)
A × C = 21 ----(3)
B - D = 5 ----(4)
A + B = 8
B = 8 - A ----(5)
SUBSTITUTING EQ (5) IN EQ (4)
8 - A - D = 5
8 - 5 = A + D
A + D = 3
A = 3 - D ----(6)
SUBSTITUTING EQ (6) IN EQ (3)
3 - D = 21 / C
D = 3 - 21 / C ----(7)
SUBSTITUTING EQ (7) IN EQ (2)
( 3 - 21 / C ) × C = 9
3 - 21 / C = 9 / C
3 = 9/ C + 21 / C
3 = 30 / C
3C = 30
C = 10 ----(8)
SUBSTITUTING EQ (8) IN EQ (3)
A × C = 21
A = 21 / 10
A = 2.1 ---(9)
SUBSTITUTING EQ (9) IN EQ (1)
B = 8 - 2.1
B = 5.9 ---(10)
SUBSTITUTING EQ (10) IN EQ (4)
5.9 - D = 5
D = 0.9
THEREFORE ;
A = 2.1
B = 5.9
C = 10
D = 0.9
