Question

the sum of two digit number and the number obtained by reversing the order of its digit is 88 Express this information in the linear equation

Answer 1

(10x+y) + (10y+x)=88
11x +11y= 88
11(x+y)=88
x +y =88/11
=8

Answer 2

Answer:

x + y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two digit number is 10x + y

When we reverse the order of its digits, then the number is 10y + x

Now, according to the question

$10x+y+10y+x=88$

On combining the like terms, we get

$11x+11y=88$

Divide both sides by 11, we get

$x+y=8$

Hence, the linear equation is x + y = 8
