Answer:
14 is the right answer
Step-by-step explanation:
14=1+4=5
14+27=41
Answer:
the sum of the digits of a two digit number is 5 on adding 27 to the number it's digits are reversed.
the original number
Let (x y) be the two digit number for which we are searching.
⭐ Then (x y) = 10x + y.
When you reverse the digits of the number, you get:
⭐ (y x) = 10y + x.
From the first sentence of the problem, we want the sum of the digits to be 5.That is,
⭐ x + y = 5 {Equation 1}
For the second sentence of the problem, we want:
⭐(10x + y) + 27 = (10y + x)
→ 10x + y + 27 = 10y + x {by just dropping the parentheses}
→ 9x - 9y = -27 {by subtracting 10y and x from both sides}
→ x - y = -3 {by dividing through by 9}
→ 2x = 2, {by adding the previous equation to Equation 1}
→
→ {since the sum of the digits equals to 5}
So the two digit number for which we are looking is 14.
As a check, if you add 27 to 14, you get 41.
hence, 14 is the original number
