Here is my question; i have tried multiple times to solve it and looked at other solutions.
The ones digit of a number is 1 more than twice the tens digit. If the digits are reversed, the new number is less than 3 times the original number. What is the original number? Thank you in advance for your help, and hopefully it comes fast.
If there is a NUMBER between "is" and "less" in the sentence:
"If the digits are reversed, the new number is less than 3 times the original number?" Then
you need to provide that number!
However, if what you described above is correct, and with T being the tens digit, and
U being the units digit, the following equation and inequality can be formed:
U = 2T + 1 ------- (i)
10U + T < 3(10T + U)____10U + T < 30T + 3U____10U - 3U + T - 30T < 0
7U - 29T < 0 ----- (ii)
Based on the above, original numbers can be:
, or
You can do the check!!
