The numbers A and B each have 3 digits. Zoe was asked to calculate AxB. Instead she put A on the left of B to form 6 digit numbers, D. Her answer was 3 times the correct answer. What is A and B?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "For what it's worth, (not much you will probably say)
\n" ); document.write( "I can show you how to solve it using a graphing calc like a Ti83
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The problems states:
\n" ); document.write( "1000A + B = 3(AB)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "B - 3AB = - 1000A
\n" ); document.write( "B(1-3A) = - 1000A
\n" ); document.write( "B = -1000A/(1-3A)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "enter into calc: y = -1000x/(1-3x): use the x,y table
\n" ); document.write( "The first integers that satisfy the requirements are:
\n" ); document.write( "A = 167, B= 334
\n" ); document.write( "3(167*334) = 167334\r
