Example 12: Write the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in this order

and insert ‘+ ‘or ‘–’ between them to get the result
(a) 5 (b) –3
Solution: (a) 0 + 1 – 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 – 6 + 7 –8 + 9 = 5
(b) 0 – 1 – 2 + 3 + 4 – 5 + 6 – 7 + 8 – 9 = –3
Example 13: Write five distinct integers whose sum is 5.
Solution: As the required sum is 5, keep 5 as one of the integers
and write two pairs of integers which are additive inverses
of each other.
For example, 5 + [2+(–2)]+[3+(–3)]= 5.
Thus, the required five integers are 5, 2, –2, 3, –3
There can be many combinatioins of five integers, such
as 5, 3, –3, 6, –6 or 4, 2, 3, –3, –1 etc., whose sum is 5.
