Hey! I'm back,
So, if you look at \((1001001)(1010101)+(989899)(1001001)\),
You can see that both share a commom 1001001
This means we can factor out the 1001001:
\(1001001(1010101+989899) \)
You can easily tell the number in the paranthesis is 2000000.
The same goes with\( -(1001)(989899)-(1010101)(1001)\)
We can factor out the -1001:
\(-1001(989899+1010101)\)
Once againg, we have very easy numbers we can do in our head:
\(-1001(2000000)\)
Combining those two expressions, we have:
\( 1001001(2000000)-1001(2000000)\)
Once again, we can factor out the 2000000
\(2000000(1001001-1001)\)
Finalizing, we have:
\(2000000\cdot{1000000}\)
The number we are looking for is 2000000000000, or 2 trillion.
So a, is 2, and b is 12
The ordered pair is (2,12)
