Can you divide the number 45 into four parts such that when
2 is added to the first part, 2 is subtracted from the second part, 2 is
multiplied by the third part, and the fourth part is divided by 2. All the four
results should be the same number.
Answer: 8, 12, 5,
20
A+B+C+ D = 45
A+2 = B-2 = 2C = D/2
A = B -4; C = B-2 /2; D= 2(B-2)
B -4 +B -2/2 +2(B-2) = 45
B = 12
A = 8
C= 5
D = 20
Thus: 12 -2 = 8 +2 = 5x2 =20/2 =10
