a number consists of two digits whose sum is 8 if 18 is added to the number its digits are reversed find the number
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Given :-
A number consists of two digits whose sum is 8.
If 18 is added to the number its digits are reversed.
To Find :-
The Number
Solution :-
Let digits be x and y
Number = 10x + y
Reversed Number = 10y + x
According to the question,
⇒ x + y = 8 .........(i)
⇒ 10x + y + 18 = 10y + x
⇒ 9x - 9y = -18
⇒ x - y = -2 ........(ii)
Adding Eq (i) and (ii), we get
⇒ x = 3
⇒ y = 5
Hence, the number is 35.
Original Number = 35
GiVeN :
- A number consists of two digits whose sum is 8
- When 18 is added to the number its digits are reversed
To FiNd :
- The Number
SoLuTiOn :
Let the digit at the tens place be x
Let the digit at the units place be y
Original Number = 10x + y
- Sum of the digits = 8
Constituting it mathematically,
---> (1)
- When 18 is added to the number its digits are reversed.
Altered Number = 10y + x
Constituting second condition mathematically,
---> (2)
