a number consists of two digits. the digit at the tens place is twice that of the digit at units place. if 18 is subtracted from the number the digits are reversed. find the number
(this question is from linear equation in one variable so only one variable can be used)
*please help me*

Answer:
42.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of units place = x
Given : The digit at tens place twice of units place
Tens digit place = 2x (10) + 1 = 20x + 1 = 21x
Interchange the digits - 12x
Given : if 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed
According to the given question-
21x - 18 = 12x
21x - 12x = 18
9x = 18
x = 2.
The original number = 21 x = 21(2) = 42.
Hence :
Answer : 42.
Answer: 42.
Explanation -
let the number of units place = x
Given: The digit at tens place twice of units place
Tens digit place = 2x (10) + 1 = 20x + 1 = 21x
Interchange the digits - 12x
Given : if 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed
According to the given question-
21x - 18 = 12x
21x - 12x = 18
9x = 18
x = 2.
The original number = 21 x = 21(2) = 42.
Hence:
Answer: 42.
