a 2 digit number is 4 times the sum of the digits .if 18 is added to the number,the digits are reversed.find the number
Answers
Answer:
1. Let the digits be x and y
Then the two-digit number is 10x + y
Given that: 10x + y = 4 (x + y)
10x + y = 4x + 4y
6x = 3y
y = 2x --------------- 1
And 10x + y + 18 = 10y + x
Or 9y – 9x = 18 ----------------
2.Substitute the value of y in eqn 2
18x – 9x = 18
9x = 18
x = 2
Therefore y = 2x = 2*2 = 4
And the number is 10x + y = 10*2 + 4 = 24
Answer: The two-digit number is 24.

Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be units digit and y be the 10s digit
10y+x = 4(x+y)
10y + x = 4x +4y
6y-3x = 0
2y - x = 0 ————-(1)
When 18 is added to the number
10y + x +18 = 10x + y
Simplify
9y - 9x = -18
y - x = - 2
y = x - 2 —————-(2)
Substitute in equation #1
2(x-2) - x = 0
2x - 4 - x=0
x = 4
Substitute in equation#2
y = 2
There for the number is
2 x 10 + 4 = 24
