1. The possible solution for x + y is 8 ⇒ d
2. The possible solution for m - n is 16 ⇒ a
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets explain some notes about the even numbers
- Their sum is even
- Their difference is even
- Their product is even
1.
∵ x and y are both even whole numbers
∴ Their sum is even whole number
∵ 5 and 9 are odd numbers ⇒ impossible
∵ 4.6 is not a whole number ⇒ impossible
∵ 8 is an even whole number ⇒ possible
∴ x + y could be 8
The possible solution for x + y is 8
2.
∵ n and m are both even whole numbers
∵ m > n
∴ m - n must be positive even whole number
∵ 1/2 is not a whole number ⇒ impossible
∵ 0 is not a positive number ⇒ impossible
(zero is not positive nor negative)
∵ -2 is not a positive number ⇒ impossible
∵ 16 is a positive even whole number ⇒ possible
∴ m - n could be 16
The possible solution for m - n is 16
