You can put this solution on YOUR website! The tens digit of a two-digit number exceeds its units digit by 4. The number exceeds twice the number obtained by reversing the digits of the original number by 10. What is the original number?
----------------------
Let the number be 10t+u
---
Equations:
t = u +4
10t+u = 2(10u+t)+10
--------------------------
Simplify the 2nd equation:
8t-19u = 10
t = u + 4
----------------
Substitute for "t" and solve for "u":
8(u+4) - 19u = 10
-11u + 32 = 10
-11u = -22
u = 2
----
Since t = u+4, t = 6
========================
Original Number: 10t+u = 62
==============================
