What 5-digit number satisfies the following requirements?
1. No zeroes
2. First two digits are the same
3. Fourth digit is twice the first
4. Last digit is twice the third
5. Sum of all digits is 18
33264.
There are several ways of solving this. One way is to represent each spot with a letter, A – E.
Then you have these equations:
A = B
D = 2 * A
E = 2 * C
A + B + C + D + E = 18
By simplifying, you get:
4 * A + 3 * C = 18
Plug in values for A and C to find that A = 3 C = 2.
Arrange the digits 1 through 9 into an equation so that the first number is the square root of the second number. (Two possible variations)
5672 = 321,489
OR
8542 = 729,316
