Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
![**Problem Description:**
Write two numbers that multiply to the value on top and add to the value on bottom.
**Puzzle Structure Explained:**
The puzzle is displayed in a cross diagram with the following details:
- The top of the cross has the number: **–42**
- The bottom of the cross has the number: **–11**
- There are two empty boxes at the left and right sides of the cross where the two numbers need to be filled in.
**Visual Representation:**
```
-42
/ \
[ ? ]×[ ? ]
\ /
–11
```
In this visual structure:
- The values to be determined (represented as [?]) are the unknowns that must satisfy both conditions.
- Multiply the two numbers to get –42.
- Add the two numbers to get –11.
**Interactive Element:**
- There's a "Submit Answer" button below the puzzle for users to input their answers once they have determined the correct numbers.
**How to Solve:**
1. Find two numbers whose product is –42.
2. Verify that these numbers also add up to –11.
This exercise helps with understanding factorization and solving simple algebraic puzzles.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9399a918-f934-411f-b204-38dd486e0d08%2F3f76b837-660b-4af4-81c7-f10eba85e0ac%2Fdabkny_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
