Answer 9

do you want to make your own or...

Answer 10

the algorithm is that you take the two numbers, and essential treat them as an ordered pair. You find the positive difference of the pair, and put that as one number in the new pair. the other number in the new pair would be the smaller of the original two.

Answer 11

I don't have TI connect...or a cable cord.

Answer 12
