MaxineYou essentially have two equations that you must solve:
x + y = 645
and
x - y = 151
The problem is that you have two variables and therefore it seems impossible to solve, however, the two variables are related to each other. For instance, solving the first equation for y gives you:
y = 645 - x
That is how y relates to x. So, substituting this new value for y in the next equation gives you:
x - (645 - x) = 151
Distribute the negative (remove the parentheses):
x - 645 + x = 151
2x - 645 = 151
2x = 151 + 645
2x = 796
x = 398
Now, plug this new value for x into the first equation:
398 + y = 645
y = 645 - 398
y = 247
Now test:
398 + 247 = 645
398 - 247 = 151
There you have it.

What are Two nine digit numbers divided to equal pi?
No two numbers that can be completely written down with digits can be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided to equal PI. If they could be divided to equal PI, then PI would be a rational number. But it isn't.
