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

KonstantinChe [14]

The time taken by the first and the second train is 1 hour 40 minutes and 1 hour 25 minutes. Then the time when the second train at Niles junction is 5:55 p.m.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

\rm Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

A train leaves Thorn junction at 1:25 p.m. and arrives in Niles at 3:05 p.m. the train makes two stops along the route for a total of 15 minutes.

A second train leaves Thorn junction at 4:30 p.m. and heads to Niles.

This train does not make any stops.

Let the speed of both trains be equal.

Then the time taken by the first train will be

t₁ = 3:05 p.m. - 1:25 p.m.

t₁ = 1 hour 40 minutes

Then the time taken by the second train will be

t₂ = 1:40 - 00:15

t₂ = 1:25 = 1 hour 25 minutes

The time when the second train is at Niles junction will be

→ 4:30 p.m. + 1:25

→ 5:55 p.m.

More about the speed link is given below.

Can someone help me please. I have to show my work.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. P = (width + lengh) * 2 = (23 + 10) * 2 = 33 * 2 = 66

  A = width * lengh = 23 * 10 = 230

2. width = 7

 P = (width + lengh) * 2 = ( 7 + 9) * 2 = 16 * 2 = 32
