Question

the sum of the digits of a two digit number is 8. the number obtained by interchanging the digits exceeds the original number by 18. find the original number?

Answer 1

Heya friend,

------------------------------------------------------

Let the digits at ones place be x. Then,

the digits at tens place = (8-x)

Original number = 10(8-x) + x

= 80 - 10x + x

= 80 - 9x

On interchanging the digits

new number obtained = 10x + 8-x

= 9x + 8

According to question,

New number - Original number = 18

9x + 8 - (80-9x) = 18

=> 9x + 8 - 80 + 9x = 18

=> 18x - 72 = 18

=> 18x = 18 + 72

=> 18x = 90

=> x = 90/18

=> x = 5

Hence, the digits at ones place is 5.

The digits at tens place = (8-5) = 3.

So, the original number is 35 and the new number is 53.
