Re: 3 math problems
Hi mathpuzzled;
Welcome to the forum.
For A:
I sure wish I could see what was under what. Could you line it up a little better?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Hi;
Okay, I will work on it and post if I get anything.

Re: 3 math problems
It turns out A was not a true math problem. The bottom row is the number of letters in the top row. He's reworked the puzzle and replaced A with this.
A. What number should replace the question mark?
3 15 2 | 4 20 2 | 4 14 3 | 2 13 5
9 | 12 | 2 | ?
Thanks greatly for the help with C & D.

Hi mathpuzzled;
Are the numbers in this puzzle correct?

Re: 3 math problems
I can see where you get that except for the 3rd set. How does that fit; or are you assuming that one's wrong?

Hi;
No, please leave it for other people to try.
Wait, what do you mean by "take it down?"
