can someone solve this math problem?
A represents a counting number. What does A equal if:
A+A=1
A+A=3
If you won't give me the actual answer at least tell me how to solve it. I'm in 5th grade, and I'm in a high math group. Me, nor my parents and my friend who's also stumped on this problem can't solve it.

This looks like a typo to me.
As far as I understand, a counting number is just a positive, non-fractional integer. The problem is that there's no whole positive number that, when added to itself, equals an odd positive number.
A+A = 2A, right? There's no way you can multiply a whole number by 2 and get an odd number. Looks like someone either made a mistake or intentionally wrote an impossible problem to get you thinking.
