Answer: 58
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the two digit number is 13. On reversing its digits the new number is 27 more than the original number find the number?
Let's set up a system with two variables: x = tens place of our answer, y = units place of our answer.
Digit sum of a two digit number is 6:
x+y=13
Reverse the digits and you get 27 more than the original value:
10y+x=10x+y+27
Now let's solve:
y=13-x
10(13-x)+x=10x+(13-x)+27
130-10x+x=130x-10x + 27
130-9x=9x+40
-90=18x
x=5
y=13-5
y=8
So our original number was 58. Sum of digits is 13. Swap the order of the digits to make 85, and you have a number 27 more than the original number.
