Pg 488 (420) - Q22

Start at the right column, and think about what two different numbers add up to 4.  1 and 3 fit that description, so plug them in for A and B.  You see now that that can’t work because
13 + 31 = 44, a 2-digit number.  The answer to this addition problem has 3 digits (CD4).  Now go back to the right column: think of 2 different numbers that add up to 14.  The only options are 6 and 8, and 9 and 5.  9 and 5 don’t work because if you complete the addition problem, D would be 5, and all the letters represent different numbers.
