A three digit number is equal to 17 times the sum of the digits if the digits are reversed the new number is 198 more than the original number the sum of the extreme digits is 1 less than the middle digits find the original number.

Answer:
Let ones digit = x , tens digit = y , hundreds digit = z
So, number becomes = 100z+10y+x
According to question-
100z+10y+x = 17(x+y+z)
100z+10y+x = 17x + 17y + 17z
100z-17z +10y-17y + x-17x = 0
83z -7y -16x = 0 -----------------------(1)
Also,
100z+10y+x + 198 = 100x + 10y + z
100z- z +10y-10y +x - 100x +198 = 0
99z - 99x +198 = 0
99x - 99z = 198
x - z = 2
x = z + 2 ----------------------------(2)
And,
z + x = y-1
By putting (2)
y = z+z+2+1
y = 2z+3 ----------------------------(3)
Putting (3) and (2) in (1) we get
83z -7(2z+3) -16(z+2) = 0
83z -14z -21 -16z -32 = 0
53z = 53
z = 1
put z = 1 in (3)
y = 2(1) +3
y = 5
Put z = 1 in (2)
x = 1+3= 3
So. number = 100(1) + 10(5) + 3 = 153
So, number = 153
