The sum of the two 5-digit numbers and is . What is ?
Solution
Since , , and are digits, , , .
Therefore, .
Solution 2
We know that is more than . We set up and . We have . Solving for , we get . Therefore, the sum .
Solution 3
Consider the place values of the digits of and .
When we add and , must result in a units digit of , meaning is either or . Since is odd, this means a ten was carried over to the next place value from , and thus (as and the ten is carried over). Now, we know 3 is the units digit of , so is either or . Again, we must look at the digit before , or . is even, so must be less than , or else the ten would be carried over. Ergo, is . Nothing is carried over, so we have , and . Therefore, the sum of , , and is .
Solution 4
Intuitively, adding and is the same as adding to itself. We can divide by to get . So, = , = 1, and = . Adding all those up yields ~sdmd
