Math Puzzle 1
Answer
Use the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 to satisfy
the given equations.
1 + 7 = 8, 9 - 5 = 4, 6 = 3 x 2
( Because in the Last column
there is a multiplication
operation then it has to be less
than 10 and cannot consist 1
because any number multiply
by 1 will give the number itself .
hence The cases will be 2 x 3
and 2 x 4 . And 3 & 4 cannot be
placed in the right hand corner
