To solve the equation \(48 : 3 = (? + ?) : 3 = ? : 3 + ? : 3 = ? + ? = ?\), we can start breaking it down step by step.
Calculate \(48 : 3\): \[ 48 : 3 = 16 \]
Set the equation \((? + ?) : 3 = 16\): To find values for \(? + ?\), we can multiply both sides by \(3\): \[ ? + ? = 16 \times 3 = 48 \]
Now, set up \(? : 3 + ? : 3 = 16\): Let’s denote the variables for clarity: Let \(a = ?\) and \(b = ?\). This gives us the equations: \[ a + b = 48 \]
And: \[ \frac{a}{3} + \frac{b}{3} = 16 \]
Combine the terms on the left: \[ \frac{a + b}{3} = 16 \]
Substituting \(a + b = 48\) gives us: \[ \frac{48}{3} = 16 \quad \text{(which confirms our previous results)} \]
Final equation: \(? + ? = ?\): Ultimately, we established: \[ a + b = 48 \]
The values of \(a\) and \(b\) can be any pair of numbers that add up to 48. For example, we can choose \(a = 24\) and \(b = 24\) (or any other combination such that \(a + b = 48\)).
In summary:
- \(48 : 3 = 16\)
- \((16) : 3 = 16\)
- \(? + ? = 48\) (where \(? = 24, 24\) as one example)
