'Sums of Pairs' printed from https://nrich.maths.org/
Jo has three numbers which she adds together in pairs.
When she does this she has three different totals: $11$, $17$ and
$22$
What are the three numbers Jo had to start with?
Can you describe a method that would enable you to work out the
three numbers given any three totals?
