the sum of the digits of a two digit no.is 6.If 18 is subtracted from the no. , the digits of the no. are interchanged.Find the no.
Answers
Answer: 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two digits of the number be, 10s place digit y and 1s place digit x
The sum of the two digits is 6.
y + x = 6
y = 6 - x…Eq..1
If 18 is subtracted from the number, its digits are interchanged.
The number formed is 10y + x.
(10y + x) - 18 = (10x + y)
10y + x - 18 = 10 x + y
10y - y - 10x + x = 18
9y - 9x = 18
9 (y - x) = 18
y - x = 2.. Eq..2
Now putting the value of y from Eq..1 to Eq..2
y - x = 2
6 - x - x = 2
6 - 2x = 2
—2x = 2 - 6
—2x = - 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
1s digit is 2
Now putting the value of x in Eq..1 to derive value of y
y = 6 - x
y = 6 - 2
y = 4
10s digit is 4
Hence the number is 42
Answer : the number is 42
Let us check the correctness of answer by substracting 18 from the derived number
42 - 18 = 24
The digits of the number have been interchanged,
thus the answer is correct
