2. The sum of the minuend, subtrahend, and difference is 555. Can the minuend be an integer? If yes, provide an example; if no, explain why.
# Answer. Hem.

Solution. Since the sum of the subtrahend and the difference is equal to the minuend, then the sum of the minuend, subtrahend, and difference is equal to twice the minuend, i.e., the minuend is 555/2 - a non-integer.
