Two digit number, x for the tens, y for the units. This number is like 10*x+y.
product: xy
sum of the digits: x+y
the reversal of the digits: 10y+x is the number.
product of the digits of a positive two-digit number exceeds the sum of the digits by 39, means:
the order of the digits is reversed, the number is increased by 27, means:
System of Equations is:
The second equation simplifies to ....
further becomes--------
, so solve this equation for either x or y, and substitute this into the first equation, and solve for the other variable. Now use either equation to solve for the first variable.
