Question

-8,0,-3,4,-1,-4 these numbers can be sorted into 3 pairs all these pairs add up to the same number , what is the number ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number that all these pairs add up to, let's pair them up in different combinations and calculate the sums:

1. Pair 1: (8, -4) => Sum = 8 + (-4) = 4

2. Pair 2: (0, -1) => Sum = 0 + (-1) = -1

3. Pair 3: (-3, 4) => Sum = (-3) + 4 = 1

We notice that all these pairs add up to different numbers. However, if we rearrange the pairs slightly, we can find a common sum:

1. Pair 1: (8, -1) => Sum = 8 + (-1) = 7

2. Pair 2: (0, -4) => Sum = 0 + (-4) = -4

3. Pair 3: (-3, 4) => Sum = (-3) + 4 = 1

Now, all pairs add up to the same number, which is 7. So, the number that all these pairs add up to is 7.
