Question

Find the values of the letters in the following and give reasons for the steps involved.

   A  1

+ 1  B

-------

   B  0

-------  

Solution

The addition of 1 and B is giving 0 i.e., a number whose ones digits is 0. This is possible only when digit B is 9. In that case, the addition of 1 and B will give 10 and thus, 1 will be the carry for the next step. In the next step,

1 + A + 1 = B

Clearly, A is 7 as 1 + 7 + 1 = 9 = B

Therefore, the addition is as follows.

   7  1

+ 1  9

------

   9  0

------

Hence, the values of A and B are 7 and 9 respectively.
