In Formula 5, x can only be 0 - 9, otherwise y will be negative number which we dont want.公仔箱論壇- f0 N) r8 P8 U/ a S
And between 0 and 9, only 0 can give me a single number of y. So, x has to be 0 and y have to be 20. Then put x and y back to formula 1, we get z = 80. 7 O1 |, i: a( }, xEventually, the answer is 20 female and 80 children and no male.作者: alan1234 時間: 2007-10-14 12:19 AM 標題: two answers
