  1. -24+13= 11

    -24 is an integer number that has two digit plus 13= 11


  2. 1) Let the first digit be X, and the other digit be Y.

    2) So lets name all the multiples of 13 = 13, 26, 39, 52, 65 etc...

    3) X + Y = 11

    So let X be 1 and Y be 3. So 1 + 3 = 4, but its not 11.

    Neither is it 26 because 2 + 6 = 8

    And 3 + 9 = 11, 5 + 2 = 7.. but 6 + 5 = *11*.

    Therefore, 65 is your answer.

  3. first, list all two digit numbers that have 13 as a factor.

    13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91

    second, find which of these numbers has digits that add up to 11.

    the answer would be 65.

  4. ok! i say you cant really tell the answer from clue 1 so move to number 2, that gives you a lil info. but clue 3.. what makes 11? 6+5=11. so i say 65. but you have ot make sure your guess fits all 3 clues right? so , therefore 65 divided by 13 = 5. so that shows that my answer 65 has  a factor of 13, and clue one say it had 2 digits, well 65 is two digits so my answer is 65.. but i solved it critically so you mite wannt ot email the teacher dad and the child should like so try it , i mean its not a equation to it, just critical thinkin... oyeh you lose a dad point ! lol
