The answer is 4 + 16 = 20.
4 x 4 = 16. 4 + 12 = 16. 16 divided by 4 = 4. So the two numbers are 4 and 16. My stratige is going 1 + what = 20 and keep going up the number line till I got my finial answer.

Answer-4 and 16
Explain
16-4=12
16 divided by 4=4
My strategy was that the larger number was in the teens and the lower number was to be subtracted by the larger number to make 12.
But the two numbers had to be able to be added to equal 20.

answer: 4+16=20
because if you take 4x4 it =16 and 4+12=16 and 16 divided by 4 would =4. so i did the guess and check stratige on the problem and i the got the number and found out the answer.

It is 16+4=20, and 16 divided by 4 = 4. It all works in the end.

I think the two numbers are 3 and 5 cause those are quotients of 20X4 and 12X4.

y+x=20
y-x=12
The answers are 4 and 16 because 16+4=20 and 16-4=12. I figured this by adding different numbers that equals 20 till I got the right answer.

Answer = 4 and 16
Explain:
16 - 4 = 12
16 divided by 4 = 4
My strategy was that the larger number was in the teens and the lower number was to be subtracted by the larger number to make 12.

The answer is 4+16=20
4x4=16, 4+12+16. 16 divided 4=4. The two numbers are 16 and 4. i figured it out going 1+? = 20 keep going up by one until i got my answer

i think the numbers are 16 and 4 because 16-12=4,16/4=4, and 16+4=20.

The 2 numbers are 16 + 4= 20. 16-4=12, and when you take 16 divided by four you get 4.

Anonymous said...

it is 16=4 because you take 4 x 4 that is 16 and you divide 16 by 4 is 4

16+4=20 or 10+10=20

4+16=20. because 4x4=16 4+12=16 16 divided by 4=4......So the two numbers are 16 and 4. I guessed and checked until i got my answer.

16 and 4 because 4+16=20,4-16=12,and4/1=4

the anwser is 4+16=20 and 16-4=12 and 16 divided by 4=16.

Anonymous said...

the answer is 4 and 16 because if you take 16 minus 4 it = 12 my statagy is to add different numbers until i get my answer

Anonymous said...

4 + 16 = 20 that is the answer.
16 - 4 = 12 4*4=16 and 16 divided by 4 equals 4. My stratagy was figuring out what two numbers equaled 20 while they were both 12 numbers apart from each other.

4 and because they are 12 apart and add up to 20

Anonymous said...

The two numbers are 4 and 16. Because 4 x 4 = 16 and 4 + 12 = 16.
My strategy is taking 1 and and adding until I get to 20.

Anonymous said...

you have to find out what 4+?=20so i found out 16+4=20 16-4=12

Anonymous said...

The numbers are 4 and 16. My stategy was i thought of two numbers that added up to be 20 but when divided by the larger number was 4. I kept puting in differnet numbers and got the numbers 4 and 16.

4 + 16 =20, 4x4=16, 4+12

Anonymous said...

the #s are 4 and 16. because 4X4= 16
16+4 =20

Anonymous said...

4 and 16 because 4 times 4 is 16, 16+4=20. I just guess and checked.

Anonymous said...

The two numbers are 16 and 4 because 16+4=20 then if you divide the larger number by the smaller number you get 4. My strategy is first you go what two numbers equal 20, then right away i thought well 16+4 so then i took those two numbers and subtracted them and i got 12. so then i divided them by eachother and then i got four so then i knew that 4 and 16 would be my two numbers

4+16 =20

Anonymous said...

4+16=20. 16 devided by 4 equals 4. they are 4, and 16.i took different # and got 4 & 16

Anonymous said...

this is what i got
4+16=20, 4x4=16, 4+12
i think it was hard and it didn't like it

Anonymous said...

4 and 16 my stratgegy is that 12 is between 4 and 16 also it makes sense.
4+16=20, 16-4=12, 16 divided by 4=4

Anonymous said...

16+4=20
16 divided by 4 equals 4,
16-4=12
I just multiplieid by 4 until I got a number that could have a diiference of 12, and went on

The 2 numbers are 4&16,because 16+4=20 and 16-4=12 and 12+4=16.

Anonymous said...

The first 2 numbers that pop up in my head is 16+4=20 then i had to think 4x4=16 so that is how i got 16, plus 4+12=16. HMMMMMMM 16 divided by 4= 4. so yea.

Anonymous said...

answer: 4+16=20
because if you take 4x4 it =16 and 4+12=16 and 16 divided by 4 would =4. so i did the guess and check stratige on the problem and i the got the number and found out the answer.
