From the picture above, if A + B = 8 (horizontally) and A + C = 13. Using other information that can be deducted from the picture, what is the value for A, B, C and D?
A + B = 8 (eqn i) C - D = 6 (eqn ii) A + C = 13 (eqn iii) B + D = 8 (eqn iv)
From eqn i: B = 8 - A (eqn v)
From eqn iii: A = 13 - C (eqn vi)
Put eqn vi into eqn v: B = 8 - 13 + C B = -5 + C B = C - 5 (eqn vii)
From eqn ii: C = 6 + D (eqn viii)
Put eqn viii into eqn vii: B = 6 + D - 5 B = 6 - 5 + D B = 1 + D (eqn ix)
From eqn iv: D = 8 - B (eqn x)
Put eqn x into ix: B = 1 + 8 - B B + B = 1 + 8 2B = 9 B = 9 ÷ 2 B = 4.5

From eqn x: D = 8 - 4.5 D = 3.5
From eqn viii: C = 6 + 3.5 C = 9.5
From eqn vi: A = 13 - 9.5 A = 3.5
Answer: A = 3.5, B = 4.5, C = 9.5, D = 3.5

Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last five trading days since the end of the two-day winning streak in which it had added more than a dozen points or 0.4 percent. The Straits Times Index now sits just above the 3,060-point plateau and it's likely to see a narrow trading range on Monday.
