Question

A two digit number is 2 less than 8 times the sum of its digits. If 36 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reserved. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to be able to delete 36 from the number, so since your two digits add up to eight, and since negative numbers do not give you a reversible two digit number, this leaves you the following logical possibilities:

80 - 36 = 44 -> 44

71 - 36 = 35 -> 53

62 - 36 = 26 -> 62

53 - 36 = 17 -> 71

44 - 36 = 08 -> 80

Thus your two digit number can be any number of the set [44,53,62,71,80]
