In Diamond B, we are also given values for A and B, and we want to find C and D.
A= -1 and B=-4
To do this, we can substitute the numbers in our pattern.
In this case, we are given that C=-6 and B=-2. Substituting these values into our pattern gives us the following equations.
-6&=A * (-2)
D &= A+ (-2)
From the first equation, we can calculate A by isolating it on one side.
Here we are given that C= -8 and D=-7. We want to find the numbers A and B.
-8=A* B
-7=A+B
In this case, let's think of different pairs of numbers which multiply to give us -8. Notice that, when we multiply them, we want to get a negative number. Therefore, we need the pair with one negative number. Multiplication of positive and negative number gives a negative number.
&-8=-1*8
&-8=-2*4
&-8=-4*2
&-8=-8*1
Let's check which, if any of these, will match the second condition as well.
&-1+8=7 *
&-2+4=2 *
&-4+2=-2 *
& -8+1=-7
The pair A=-8 and B=1 works for the pattern. Therefore, this is the correct pair of numbers to complete the diamond.
