Answer» Let the digits be x and y Then the two-digit number is 10x + y Given that: 10x + y = 4 (x + y) 10x + y = 4x + 4y 10x - 4x = 4y - y 6x = 3y y = 6x/3 y = 2x --------------- 1 And 10x + y + 8 = 10y + x 10x - x + y - 10y = -8 9x - 9y = -8 9y – 9x = 8 ---------------- 2 Substitute the value of y in eqn 2 18x – 9x = 8 9x = 8 x = 8/9 Therefore y = 2x = 2 x 8/9 = 16/9 And the number is 10x + y = 10 x 8/9 + 16/9 = 80/9 + 16/9 = (80 + 16)/9 = 96/9 = 32/3 Answer: The two-digit number is 32/3. |
