A digit is a number in one of the places, so for example the number 54 has two digits; a tens place digit (5) and a ones place digit (4).
Say the mystery number is a two digit number = xy
* that's not x times y but two side by side digits.
Info given:
<span>the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 6
x + y = 6 </span>
<span>if the digits are reversed, yx the difference between the new number and the original number is 18.
**To obtain the number from digits you must multiply by the place and add the digits up. (Example: 54 = 10(5) + 1(4))
Original number = 10x + y
Reversed/New number = 10y + x
Difference:
10y + x - (10x + y) = 18
9y - 9x = 18
9(y - x) = 18
y - x = 18/9
y - x = 2
Now we have two equations in two variables
</span>y - x = 2
<span>x + y = 6
Re-write one in terms of one variable for substitution.
y = 2 + x
sub in to the other equation to combine them.
x + (2 + x) = 6
2x + 2 = 6
2x = 6 - 2
2x = 4
x = 2
That's the tens digit for the original number. Plug this value into either of the equations to obtain y, the ones digit.
2 + y = 6
y = 4
number "xy" = 24

So let's start out by labeling Ethan as X
Since 85 is 1/3 of what Ethan drove, that means Ethan drove 3 times of 85.
85= (3x) -21
85 -21 = 3x
60=3x
20 = x
To solve for x just isolate x by moving the other variables so....:
First add c to both sides
g+c= y+x
Subtract y from both sides
g+c-y= x
That should be your final answer (we cannot come up with an actual digit for x because there are no numbers in this equation we simply can make an equation for x)
This question does not make much sense. Brigid has already picked 112 bushels, and she picks at a rate of 58 bushels per hour, the scenario question does not make any sense. 58h + 112 = 5...? What does this mean? But whatever the left side of the equation is, first subtract 112 from both sides and divide by 58, then you will get the value of "h."
