Method to solve an equation

73 Views Asked by At

The question is: put one of $1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9$ in one position below, to obtain $100$ $$\large\overline{\square\square}+\overline{\square\square}+\overline{\square\square}=100$$his mean fint This mean to find three,two digit number with sum of 100. I can find by guess and exam some of the possible answer like below $$45+37+18=100\\ 46+35+19=100\\65+23+12=100 $$ But I am looking for a $\large\text {method}$ to solve the equation.
AS a second question, how to find all the possibilities? (when do not repeat any number)
Thanks in advance for any help.

We need to solve

$$(10a+b)+(10c+d)+(10e+f)=100 \implies 10(a+c+e)+b+d+f=100$$

and we have two cases

  • $b+d+f=10 \implies a+c+e=9$
  • $b+d+f=20 \implies a+c+e=8$
