the sum of digits of two digit number is 9 the number is six times the unit digit find the number
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Define x and y:
The digit in the tens place is x
The digit in the ones place is y
The number is (10x + y)
Form equation 1 :
The sum of the digits is 9
x + y = 9
x = 9 - y
Form equation 2 :
The number is 6 times the units
10x + y = 6y
Put the two equations together:
x = 9 - y -------------------- [ 1 ]
10x + y = 6y -------------------- [ 2 ]
Find y:
Sub [ 1 ] into [ 2 ]:
10(9 - y) + y = 6y
90 - 10y + y = 6y
90 - 9y = 6y
15y = 90
y = 90 ÷ 15
y = 6
Find x:
When y = 6
x = 9 - 6
x = 3
Find the number
The number = 10x + y
The number = 10(3) + 6
The number = 36
Answer: The number is 36
hope it helps you
Answer:
Let the digit in 10s place be 'x' and in ones place be 'y'
two digit number be 10x + y
given,
x + y = 9
also
10x + y = 6y
10x = 5y
2x=y
∵ x + y = 9 ⇒ x + 2x = 9 ⇒ 3x = 9
x = 3
∴ y = 6
The number is 10*(3) + 6 = 36
