 1. Who is the President? Jio
2. Who is the Vice-President? George
3. Who is the Secretary? Niro
4. Who is the Treasurer? John

VICE

JOHN x x x √
NIRO x x √ x
JIO √ x x x
GEORGE x √ x x

IV. Solve the following problems using polya’s strategy. Write your solution on the
space provided.

A. A man wanted to enter into his work building, but he had forgotten his code.
However, he did remember five clues:

a. The fifth number plus the third number equals fourteen

b. The fourth umber is one more than the second
c. The first number is one less than twice the second number
d. The second plus the third number equals ten
e. The sum of all five number is 30

1. What is the first number? 7

2. What is the second number? 4
3. What is the third number? 6
4. What is the fourth number? 5
5. What is the fifth number? 8
Solution:

 Understand the problem

-Looking for the 5-digit code.
-E + C = 14
D=B+1
A= 2B – 1
B + C = 10
-The sum of all five number is 30.

 Devise a plan

Let the 2nd digit = x

 Carry out a plan

1st = 2x-1
2nd and 3rd = x+y=10
4th = x+1
3rd and 5th = y+z=14

sum of all five digits is 30

2x - 1 + x + y + x + 1 + z = 30
4x + y + z = 30
4x + 14 = 30
4x = 30 - 14
4x = 16
x = 16 ÷ 4
x=4

Now we know the value you x.

1st = 2(4)-1
= 8-1
=7

2nd = 4

4th = 4+1
=5
rd
3 = 4+y=10
= y= 10-4
 =y=6
th
5 = 6+z=14
= z = 6 -14
=z=8

 Look back and review your solution.

7+4+6+5+8= 30
