Question

solve eqn 44+44+44+44=4a

Answer 1

Method 1 :


44 + 44 + 44 + 44 = 4a

88 + 88 = 4a

176 = 4a

176 / 4 = a

44




Method 2 :


44 + 44 + 44 + 44 = 4a

44 + 44 + 44 + 44 = a + a + a + a


As all values in left hand side and right hand side are same, comparing values

a = 44



Method 3 :


44 + 44 + 44 + 44 = 4a

44( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ) = 4a

44 × 4 = 4a


comparing values


44 = a

Answer 2

$\bf{44 + 44 + 44 + 44 = 4a}$

In LHS,
let us take 44 as common

=> 44 ( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ) = 4a

=> 44 × 4 = 4a

=> 44 = (4a)/4 [transporting 4 to RHS side]

=> 44 = a

Hence, the value of $\bf{a}$ is $\bf{44}$.

Verification :
LHS = 44 × 4 = 176

RHS = 4a = 4 × 44 = 176

Therefore, LHS = RHS , verified.
