A math riddle. Free points for grabs!?
This is easy, yet most ppl dont get it……
A rich merchant had collected many rare gold coins. He did not want anybody to know about them. One day, one of his servants asked, “How many gold coins do you have, sir?”
He replied, “If I divide the coins into two unequal numbers, then 29 times the difference between the two numbers equals the difference between the squares of the two numbers.”
How many does he have (this is too easy)
you got me there i dont know
My guess is it’s a nonsensical answer. The squares of the numbers w? Earths both far? About 29 times each number. I am int? Ress? E locate the other answers to this question. Oh, never mind. You said the difference beween the squares of two numbers. ‘m Still curious about the answer to this one. PS I think “Math_kp did Smart Guy -. I do not think this is” too easy. “
They are suspect Divided x and Y29 (xy) = x ^ 2-y ^ 2OR 29 (xy) = (x + y) (xy) or x + y = 29 (can divide by xy, since they do not sameso number of Are corners = x + y = 29
Is it 58 or 59?
He h? Tte 29 gold they coinsDivide in batteries of 0 and 29 (29-0) ^ 2 = 29 ^ 2-0 ^ 2
Math_kp it right with 29 very cute. . .
9 = 19 and 10 coins Goldm?
m not so? is possible, there are only three variables and equations to sen a period of two out of ‘em to L?.
29 (XY) = X2-Y2, then X + Y =? Y2 = X2 (X = Y) (XY) 29 (XY) = (X + Y) (XY) = X + Y 29the rich Goldm? Kaufmann had 29 coins
29 is my best guess. The way mathematics is this: If Z Goldm coins are divided into that X and Y then X + Y = Z, then: 29 (XY) = x ^ 2-y ^ 2, and everyone knows that it can the right-hand side can be simplified as follows: 29 (XY) = (X + Y) (XY). We can k? By (xy) cos’ because of their unequal share, then put? Not be their subtraction is zero. So: 29 = X + Y. But I do not see the easy way out of this to understand. It is one?
He’s 29th 29Y = 29x-x-y squared = 15 y = 14 squaredx
If the two numbers are, and Y29 x (y) = x ^ 2-y ^ 2 (x is the assumption that the number of grams ere?) 29 (x – y) = (xy) (x + y) = x + 29 yThat, he has 29 coins Goldm?.
Yeah. . . . . 29th . . . . . . . What I like most about this one, it’s just a more complex than you allow yourself. . . .
29 (x-y) = x2? y229 (x, y) = (x + y) (x? y) = x + 29 Y29 CORNERS
In total there is? About 29pcs. 29 (xy) = x ^ 2-y ^ x ^ 2get a factor of 2-y ^ 2 29 (xy) = (xy) (x + y) cancel (xy) = x + 29 yTherefore: You can k by L? ? sen, the corners are 29 total
not x, ythen29 * (y) = x ^ 2-y ^ x 2divide two side-by-ythen years = 29
Well, Larry, if you have more variables than equations, it means that there are more than one L? Solution. And tats? Chlich, X and Y, that any two integers to 29 bars.
Algebraically, so have many of the other gel st: 29 (xy) = x ^ 2-y ^ 229 (xy) = (xy) (x + y) n (x + y) = 29Without only algebra Remember there? the difference between two squares is Sami have product and sum of their difference. for example. f? r Numbers 9,999,975 and 25, you mentally calculate the difference between their COLUMNS PI?. The simplest (9999975-25) is (25 9999975), or? Same principle in this R? Tsels.
Simple sum if in ‘a’ and ‘b’ Divided 29 * (a ~ b) = (a ^ 2 ~ b ^ 2) N 29 (AB) = (a + b) (AB) na + b = 29, we share anyway I like (0.29) (1.28). . . (15.14), this condition may be satisfiedProof: Simple proof, if we take any two numbers and square it, it will be the product of the number of sum and difference of the numbers. as per the problem x Some difference of two times the difference of the numbers is nat? rlich square sum of the two numbers is x
