the sum of the digits of a 2- digit number is 9. if the number obtained by reversing the digits is 27 more than the original numbers, find the original number
Answers
- The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 9.
- The number obtained by reversing the digits is 27 more than the original number
- The original number
Let the digit in the tens place be x
Let the digit in the units place be y
Original number = 10x + y
- The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 9.
Representing the condition mathematically,
=> x + y = 9 ----> 1
- The number obtained by reversing the digits is 27 more than the original number
Reversed number = 10y + x
Representing the second condition mathematically,
=> 10y + x = 10x + y + 27
=> 10x + y + 27 = 10y + x
=> 10x - x + 27 = 10y - y
=> 9x + 27 = 9y
=> 9x - 9y = - 27
=> 9 ( x - y) = - 27
=> x - y =
=> x - y = - 3 ----> 2
Solve equations 1 and 2 simultaneously by elimination method.
Add equation 1 to equation 2,
x + y = + 9
x - y = - 3
----------------
2x = 6
=> x =
=> x = 3
Substitute x = 3 in equation 1,
=> x + y = 9
=> 3 + y = 9
=> y = 9 - 3
=> y = 6
Answer:
here your answer.........
36 [original number]
Step-by-step explanation:
let the tenth place digit be a
and unit place digit be b
then the number becomes 10a+b
According to question,
sum of the digits
a + b = 9
a + b - 9 = 0................... (1)
And
if the number obtained by reversing
the digits is 27 more than the
original numbers
10a + b + 27 = 10b + a
9a - 9b + 27 = 0
9 × [ a - b + 3 ] = 0
a - b + 3 = 0.......................(2)
now adding equations (1) + (2)
a + b - 9 + a - b + 3 = 0
2a - 6 = 0
2a = 6
a = 3
substitute 'a' in equation (1)
3 + b - 9 = 0
b - 6 = 0
b = 6
Required number:-
10a + b = 10 × 3 + 6 = 30 + 6 = 36.
