Question
In finding the values of x and y, if (x567) + (2yx5) = (71yx)
( all in base 8) I proceeded as under.
I assumed x=abc
and y=def
and followed.
(abc+010 def+101 110+abc 111+101)=(111 001 def abc) //adding ()+()=() and equating LHS=RHS.
abc=111-010=101 which is 5 in base 8 and then def=001-101 which is -4
so x=5 and y=-4
Now the Question is that the answer mentioned in my book is x=4
and y=3
.
