The digit in the tens place of a 2-digit number is twice the units digit. If the digits are reversed, the new
number is 18 less than the original number. Find the original number.

Answers
Answer:-
Let the digit at units place be y and digit at ten's place be x .
The number = 10x + y
Given:
The ten's digit is twice the units digit.
→ x = 2y -- equation (1)
And,
If the digits are reversed the new number is 18 less than the original number.
Number formed by reversing the digits = 10y + x.
According to the above condition,
→ (10x + y) - 18 = 10y + x
→ 10x + y - 10y - x = 18
→ 9x - 9y = 18
→ 9(x - y) = 18
Substitute the value of x from equation (1)
→ 2y - y = 18/9
→ y = 2
Putting the value of y in equation (1) we get,
→ x = 2*2
→ x = 4
The number = 10*4 + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42.
Therefore, the required number is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
let digit in units place = x
digit in tens place =2x
two digit number = 10(2x) + x= 21x
after interchanging the digits,
= 10x + 2x = 12x
new number = original no. - 18
12x = 21x- 18
12x - 21x= - 18
-9x = -18
x = -18/-9
x=2
original number = 21x
= 21× 2= 42
