Answer:. The numbers are 41 and 14
Step-by-step explanation: X and Y represent the digits. In the Tens place, the digit has 10× its base value. Therefore we can set up equations to model the information given:
10x+y = 10y + x +27
X + Y = 5
y =5-x rewritten to substitute for y
10x + 5-x = 10(5-x)+x +27
Distribute and then combine like terms:
9x +5 = 50 - 9x +27
Add 9x to both sides; subtract 5 from both sides.
9x +9x = 50+27-5
18x = 72 Combine like terms. Then divide both sides to solve for x.
x = 4
4+y=5 Substitute 4 for x; solve for y.
y=1
Substitute values of x and Y into the original equation and check.
40 +1 = 10 +4 + 27
41 = 14+ 27
True! 41=41
The numbers are 41 and 14.
