Let the number be (10 x + y)
Then, 10 x + y = 3 * (x + y) (given)
Or, 10 x + y = 3 x + 3 y
Or, 10 x - 3 x = 3 y - y
Or, 7x = 2 y
Or, x = 2 y / 7 ( Eq. 1)
Also, 10 x + y + 45 = 10 y + x ( given)
Or, 10 x - x = 10 y - y - 45
Or, 9 x = 9 y - 45 ( Eq. 2)
Substituting the value of x from (Eq. 1) in (Eq. 2), we have:
9 * 2 y / 7 = 9 y - 45
Or, (9 y ) - (18 y / 7) = 45
Or, 63 y - 18 y = 315
Or, 45 y = 315
Or, y = 7
From (Eq. 1),
x = 2 * 7 / 7 = 2
So, the number is 10 x + y = (10 * 2) + 7 = (20 + 7) = 27
Answer
Check:
Sum of the digits = 2 + 7 = 9
9 * 3 = 27 ✓
Adding 45 to the number 27, we get 72. So, the digits get reversed.
Suzie needs enough trim to cover the perimeter of the triangle. So she need enough to cover each side of 18. Thus 18 x 3 = 54 and 54 is your answer.
2 because you have to draw out a picture if not 5
