Math Problem Statement

Find the missing digits in each of the following: A) _ _ 3 + 4 6 _ = 1 3 7 B) _ 0 5 7 + 1 1 _ 4 = 2 3 3 4

Solution

Let's analyze and solve the missing digits problem step by step.

Problem A:

We have the following equation:

  _ _ 3
+ 4 6 _
-------
  1 3 7

From this, let's fill in the missing digits.

  1. The last column is already complete:

    • 3+_=73 + \_ = 7. So the missing digit in the last position must be 4 because 3+4=73 + 4 = 7.
  2. Moving to the middle column:

    • 6+_=36 + \_ = 3, but we have a carry of 1 from the previous column (because 136=713 - 6 = 7).
    • Therefore, 6+_+1=13    _=66 + \_ + 1 = 13 \implies \_ = 6. The middle digit in the first row is 5.
  3. Now, for the first column:

    • 4+_=14 + \_ = 1, but there's no carry from the middle column.
    • This means the number must be 5 because 4+5=94 + 5 = 9, and we carry a 1 over.

So, the completed solution for part A is:

  5 5 3
+ 4 6 4
-------
  1 3 7

Problem B:

The second problem is:

  _ 0 5 7
+ 1 1 _ 4
---------
  2 3 3 4
---------
  6 _ 4 _

Let’s solve this:

  1. The last column:

    • 7+4=117 + 4 = 11, so the last digit must be 1, with a carry of 1.
  2. Third column:

    • 5+_+1=145 + \_ + 1 = 14, which gives the missing digit as 8.
  3. Second column:

    • 0+1=10 + 1 = 1, but considering the carry from the next column, it sums to 13, so the missing digit must be 3 to satisfy the sum.
  4. First column:

    • 1+_=61 + \_ = 6, so the missing digit in the first row is 5.

The completed solution for part B is:

  5 0 5 7
+ 1 1 8 4
---------
  6 3 3 4

Summary:

  • A:
    5 5 3
    
  • 4 6 4

1 3 7


- **B:**

5 0 5 7

  • 1 1 8 4

6 3 3 4

### Tip: 
When solving digit puzzles, always start from the right-most column and consider any possible carries carefully.
