Verified Answer :

Find
the two numbers that has the sum of 5.036

First number has a 4 in the tenths place and 7 in the thousands

=> x.4x7

The other number has 1 in the ones place and 2 in the hundredths place

=> 1.x2x

=> x.4x7 + 1.x2x = 5.036

=> x.4x7 + 1.x2x = notice that the thousandths place is 7, add 9 to make it
16.

=> x.4x7 + 1.x26 = carry 1, then in hundredths place 2 + 1 + x, find the
number to make it 3, since it’s already 3 x = 0

=> x.407 + 1.x29, in tenths place, notice that we already have 4, add 6 to
make it 10, then carry 1 to ones place

=> x.407 + 1.629, Now, in ones place, we have 1 + 1 + x, find a number to
make it 5. Add 3

=> 3.407 + 1.629 = 5.036
