Today’s Challenge
In this particular number puzzle, three UNIQUE digits must be used to arrive at a specified target number, 42. The formula is always the same – multiply two numbers together, then either add or subtract the third number to achieve your target.
- (a×b)±c, where a, b and c are three unique digits from 1-9.
One way of making 42 is (9×4)+6; can you find the only other TWO ways to make 42?
[Note: (9×4)+6 and (4×9)+6 counts as just ONE way.]
