4 basic operations (Posted on 2024-05-21) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Let's select 2 integers in the range of 1 TO 100, say X and Y , (X>Y). To avoid fractions X should be a multiple of Y.
On those two integers we will perform 4 operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and then sum up the 4 answers.

Example X = 81 and Y = 9
sum would be 90
difference 72
product 729
and quotient 9

altogether 900

It's up to the solver to convert the final result, restoring the original values of X and Y.

Solve for final result 324

Solution A kiss solution | Comment 9 of 10 |
x=324*y/(y+1)^2
y=1  x=324/4=81
y=2  x=324*2/9=72
y=5  x=324*5/36=45

Three possible solutions.p
