Hi , can u pls help me in this easy for you.
Sara and Ahmed were born on the same day, from the same mum and dad, and they look exactly alike, but they are not twins. How?
550=5+5+5 If you add a small line, the equation is 100% right. Just One small line.
Tell me how old this girl is? In two years, she will be twice as old as she was five years ago.
Thanks in advance

2>add a small line to any of the plus signs such that it becomes a 4 , so that the equation becomes 545+5=550 which is 100% correct.
3>(x+2)=2(x-5). can you see how i got this equation? now just solve this equation to find your answer

#1 Reminds me of a joke about the laws of averages.
I read the other day that 1 out of every 5 people in the world is Chinese. Since there are five people in my family I guess that means one of them ought to be Chinese. Now I know that I'm not Chinese and neither are Mom or Dad. That leaves either my sister Sarah or my brother Chang. The more I think about it, the more I think it's my sister Sarah.
