Find the missing digits.
- V
- X
V748 - 16X4 = 2064(a)
In the hundreds place, 7 is more than 6.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
V - 1 = 2
V = 2 + 1
V = 3
(b)
In the ones place, 8 is more than 4.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
4 - X = 6
In the tens place, 6 is more than 4.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 14 can substract a certain number to get 6.
X = 14 - 6
X = 8
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 8
