Ask yourself:
- Is the answer made from two separate numbers?
- Is subtraction involved?
- Is addition involved in another way?
- Are two results being joined together?
- Does the same rule work for every equation?
Let’s examine the examples one by one.
The First Equation: 6 + 4 = 210
Start with:
6 + 4 = 210
First, find the difference between the two numbers:
6 − 4 = 2
Then find their sum:
6 + 4 = 10
Now put the two results together:
2 + 10 → 210
So the answer is:
210
The first equation fits the pattern.
The Second Equation: 9 + 2 = 711
Now consider:
9 + 2 = 711
Find the difference:
9 − 2 = 7
Find the sum:
9 + 2 = 11
Put the two results together:
7 + 11 → 711
Again, the pattern works perfectly.
The Third Equation: 8 + 5 = 313
Now look at:
8 + 5 = 313
The difference is:
8 − 5 = 3
The sum is:
8 +
