There is a two digit number whose 2nd digit is 4 less than the first digit. and the number itself is 7 times the sum of its digits. what is the number
Answers
Answer:
84 is the required two digit number .
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation :
Given two digit number whose 2nd digit is 4 less than the first digit
and the number itself 7 times the sum of its digits .
Let the first digit be x and second digit be y
So , the two digit number is (10x + y )
Step 1:
Now according to the question , second number is 4 less than the first digit .
⇒ y = x - 4 ......(i)
And the number itself is 7 time the sum of its digits
⇒ (10x + y ) = 7 (x + y)
⇒10x - 7x + y - 7y = 0
⇒3x - 6y = 0
⇒ x - 2y = 0 ......(ii)
Step 2:
Now , put the value of y from equation (i) in equation (ii)
⇒ x - 2(x - 4 )= 0
⇒ x - 2x + 8 = 0
⇒-x = -8 ⇒ x = 8
Now put the value of x = 8 in any one of the equations we get ,
x - 2y = 0
⇒8 - 2y = 0
⇒ -2y = - 8 ⇒ y = 4
xy is 84
Final answer :
Hence , the two digit number is 84 .
