Algebra.Com's Answer #171286 by rapaljer(4671)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This cannot be the product of two numbers equalling 90, since one of the numbers must be even. I conclude that it must be a sum of numbers equal to 90.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If it had been 2 parts, then you could say 37 + 53, where all the digits are odd numbers. How about 33+57? There are probably several solutions.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, if you want 9 parts, this is an ODD number of ODD numbers. I believe if you ADD an ODD number of ODD numbers, you get an ODD number. I can't think of a way to do this.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "My answer is NO SOLUTION, although maybe I just haven't thought of it yet. If you want to re-post the problem for another opinion, I promise not to jump in and answer it!!\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dr. Robert J.
