i think one answer is: 8, 12, 20, 5. Explanation:
1) 8+12+20+5=45
2) 8+ 2=10
3)12-2=10
4)20/2=10
5)5*2=10
ups, sorry i did not put the general solution:
here it is:
1)a+b+c+d= 45
2)a+2=z–>a=-2+z
3)b-2=z–>b=2+z
4)c/2=z–>c=2z
5)d*2=z–>d=z/2
so: substitute 2,3,4,5 in 1–> -2+z+2+z+2z+z/2=45–>9/2(z)=45–>z=10
now substitute z=10 in 2,3,4,5 and you get 8,12,20,5.
I wasn’t sure how to do it mathematically, but I tired anyway.
a+b+c+d=45
a+2=b-2=c/2=d*2
a+b+d*4+d=45
a+b+5d=45
b-4+b+5d=45
2b+5d=49
This made it a little easier. I still had to guess and check back with a and c, though. This is what I got:
a=8
b=12
c=20
d=5
8, 12, 20, and 5, respectively.
8 + 2 = 12 - 2 = 20 / 2 = 5 * 2 = 10.
8 + 12 + 20 + 5 = 45.
How I solved this:
I broke each number into ‘component units’, knowing the final values will have to be equal (1 unit being defined as the unknown final value. Number 3 contained 2 component units, since it would be halved to reach the final value. Number 4 contained half a component unit, since it would be doubled to equal one of them. Numbers 1 and 2 equal one each, since their sum is two units. So there are a total of 4.5 component units, and the sum of all units must equal 45. 45 / 4.5 = 10, conveniently enough…and the individual answers can be found easily from here.
20+5+12+8 = 45
20/2= 10
5*2 = 10
&
12-2 = 10
8+2 = 10
First to fourth, respectively: 8, 12, 20, 5
numbers are 8,12,20,5
8+2=10
12-2=10
20/2=10
5*2=10
8+12+20+5=45
8+2=10, 12-2+10, 20/2=10, 5×2=10
P1 = 8, P2 = 12, P3 = 20, P4 = 5
So P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 = 45 and
P1 + 2 = P2 - 2 = P3/2 = P4 x 2 = 10
The values are 8, 12, 20, and 5.
The four parts are : 8,12,20,5
8+2=10
12-2=10
20/2=10
5*2=10
8 +2
12 -2
5 x 2
20 / 2
8+12+20+5 = 45
8+2 = 10
12-2=10
20/2=10
5*2=10
Start with 8, add 2 to get 10, and then find the remaining numbers using 10 as a base. 12-2=10 means 12 is the second, 20/2=10 means 20 is the third, and 5*2=10 means 5 is the fourth.
Now add then together and you get 45.
First part: 8
Second part: 12
Third part: 20
Fourth part: 5
8+12+20+5=45
(8+2)=(12-2)=(20/2)=(5*2) = 10
8,12,20,5
8 + 2 =10
12 - 2 = 10
20 / 2 = 10
5 x 2 = 10
8 + 12 + 20 + 5 = 45
Part 1 + Part 2 + Part 3 + Part 4 = 45
8 + 12 + 20 + 5 = 45
Part 1: 8+2=10
Part 2: 12-2=10
Part 3: 20/2=10
Part 4: 5*2=10
8 12 20 5
Variables: a, b, c, d
Equations:
a + b + c + d = 45
a+2 = b-2 = c*2 = d/2
Assumptions:
a and b are exactly 4 units apart
c is MUCH smaller than d
since the final versions of c and d must be equal, d cannot be odd (to prevent being divided into a fraction, which would cause problems for c)
Answer:
a = 8
b = 12
c = 5
d = 20
1st part = 8
2nd part = 12
3rd part = 20
4th part = 5
8,12,20,5. I don’t know how I figured it out. I just “saw” it.
Sorry.
I would say that section 1 would have to be 8, section 2 would be 12, section 3 would be 20 & section 4 would be 5. Each of these given their rules give the common number of 10.
8, 12, 20, 5
Answer: 8, 12, 20, 5
lots of good explanations given above!
the answer is 11.25
