Answer 2

Answer:

Given that

a + b = 9 and

[(a•10) + b] + 45 = (b•10) + a

Part 1: simplify 2nd equation

10a + b + 45 = 10b + a

45 = 9b - 9a

45/9 = b - a

5 = b - a

Part 2: eliminate one variable to solve for other variable

5 = b - a summed with

9 = a + b equals

14 = 2b

b = 7

Part 3: solve for second variable

If a + b = 9 and

b = 7, therefore

a = 2

Part 4: convert a and b digits to 2-digit numbers

Converting a and b to place-digits in 2-digit number:

if a = 2 and b = 7, the two numbers are

27 and 72

CHECK

27 + 45 = 72
