7th grade math question. A number consists of two digits whose sum is 8. If 18 is added to the number its digts are reversed. Find the number
Answers
Answer:
Let one digit of the number be x , then its ten digits digits will be (8−x) .
digits digits will be (8−x) .
[tex⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
=80−9x[/tex]
Now if digits are reversed , then Number obtained
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ \: =10x+(8−x)
\: =10x+8−x
\: =9x+8

Given,
- A number consist of two digit whose sum is 8.
if 18 is added, the number gets reversed.
Solution:-
Let the 1st digit be x
2nd digit = 8-x
According to Question,
10x+(8-x) +18= 10(8-x) + x Now let's solve this equation
9x+26=80-10x+x
9x+26=80-9x
9x+9x=80-26
18x=54
x=3
We got the first digit 3,
second digit= 8-3= 5
Original digit=35
Verification:-
10(3) +(8-3)+18
=30+5+18
=35+18
=53
And, 35+18=53
Condition check
•Adding 18 to the number reverses the digit ✔️
•Sum of digits =3+5=8 ✔️
