Math Problem Statement
Solution
This problem requires filling in the blanks with the numbers from the two lists to make the equation true. The numbers from the two lists are:
- First row: 9, 3
- Second row: 5, 4
The structure of the equation is:
Let's analyze the equation.
We need to assign the numbers from the list in such a way that:
- The first blank multiplied by 4,
- Minus the second blank multiplied by 3,
- Should equal the third blank minus the fourth blank.
Let's start by trying the numbers from the list in order.
Possible solution:
If we assign:
- First blank = 9,
- Second blank = 5,
- Third blank = 3,
- Fourth blank = 4,
Then we get the equation:
This simplifies to:
Which is true because:
So the correct numbers to fill in the blanks are:

Here are five related questions you could explore:
- What would happen if we tried the numbers in a different order?
- How can we generalize this process for other number sets?
- Can this type of equation be solved systematically for any pair of lists?
- How does the multiplication affect the outcome in comparison to simple addition or subtraction?
- Are there other solutions to this problem using different numbers from the list?
Tip: Always check the equation step by step after substituting values to ensure correctness.
