Answer:

  78

Step-by-step explanation:

Interchanging the digits of a 2-digit number changes the value by a multiple of 9. The multiple is the difference between the digits of the number.

So, we have two digits that add to 15, and have a difference of 9/9 = 1. Since you're familiar with your addition facts, you know that the two digits are 7 and 8. Since the number we're looking for is the smallest of the numbers you can make with those digits, ...

  the original number is 78.

_____

More formally, let t and o represent the tens and ones digits of the original number.

  t + o = 15 . . . . . . the sum of digits is 15

  (10o +t) - (10t +o) = 9 . . . . swapping digits increases the value by 9

The latter equation simplifies to ...

  9o -9t = 9 . . . . collect terms

  o - t = 1 . . . . . . divide by 9 . . . (note the difference of digits is 9/9=1)

Adding this to the first equation gives ...

  (t +o) +(o -t) = (15) +(1)

  2o = 16

  o = 8

  t = o -1 = 7

The tens digit is 7 and the ones digit is 8: 78.

Solve the equation. Show your work. 45 = 3b + 69
Cerrena [4.2K]
There should be no problem in finding the value of the unknown variable "b" in the equation given in the question.The equation is solvable for finding the value of "b" because it is the only unknown variable in the single equation that is given in the question.
45 = 3b + 69
Let us reverse both sides of the equation first. then, we get
3b + 69 = 45
3b = 45 - 69
3b = - 24
b = - (24/3)
   = - 8
So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the value of b in the given equation is -8.
