Given the following number groups:
{5,1}{5,3}{7,3}
And that:
A= {3, 4, 5}
B= 2
C= ('AMEND' -1000+"N")
What commonly used expression would 'A B C' make?
{5,1}{5,3}{7,3}
And that:
A= {3, 4, 5}
B= 2
C= ('AMEND' -1000+"N")
What commonly used expression would 'A B C' make?
Answer
With above given conditions, 'A B C' would make the expression:'Means to an End.' How so?
Given the number groups {5,1}{5,3}{7,3}
*The "MEANS" of these groups are (3) (4) and (5) respectively, which is provided in group A.
Therefore, A = MEANS.
*B=2, or 'TO'
* 'AN END' can be deduced from ('AMEND' -1000 + N) because
'M' is the equivalent of 1000 in Roman Numerals. Thus, subtracting 1000, or the 'M' would leave 'A_END'
Adding 'N' to that would give you 'ANEND' or 'AN END'
Therefore, C= AN END
Collectively, 'A B C' made into a commonly used expression would be 'MEANS TO AN END'
