Question

The math problem says to add the numbers A and B. But, by mistake , you subtract B fro A and get 66. However 66 is 1/3 of correct answer

Answer 1

ANSWER:

To solve this problem we must raise two conditions:

• A + B = 66 · 3
• B -A = 66

We proceed to solve the system of equations, in such a way that we have the following:

A = 198 - B

Procedures to replace in the second condition and we have to:

B - 198 + B = 66

2B = 264

B = 132

We proceed to calculate the value of A, we have:

A = 198 - 132

A = 66

Therefore, the values of A and B are 66 and 132 respectively.
