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

The lead from Wall Street offers little clarity as the major averages opened lower on Friday and then bounced back and forth across the unchanged line, finally finishing mixed and little changed.The Dow added 33.18 points or 0.10 percent to finish at 34,798.00, while the NASDAQ eased 4.54 points or 0.03 percent to close at 15,047.70 and the S&P 500 rose 6.50 points or 0.15 percent to end at 4,455.48. For the week, the Dow rose 0.6 percent, the NASDAQ added 0.1 percent and the S&P gained 0.5 percent.The lackluster performance on Wall Street came on uncertainty about the outlook for the markets following recent volatility.
Start with a fresh view of investing strategy. The combination of risks and fads this quarter looks to be topping. That means the future is ready to move in.Likely, there will not be a wholesale shift. Company actions will aim to benefit from economic growth, inflationary pressures and a return of market-determined interest rates. In turn, all of that should drive the stock market and investment returns higher.
