the sum of the digits of a two digit number is 10.the number formed by reversing the digit is 4 less than 5 times the original number. find the original number
---------------------------
Original number: 10t+u
Reversed number: 10u+t
------
Equations:
t + u = 10
10u+t = 5(10t+u)-4
-------
Substitue for "t" and solve for "u":
10u + 10-u = 5(10(10-u)+u)-4
------
9u + 10 = 5(100-9u)-4
9u + 10 = 500-45u-4
9u + 10 = 496-45u
54u = 486
u = 9
Then t = 1
----
Original number:
10t + u = 19
