The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 10.if 36 is subtracted from the number the digits interchange their places.find the number?
-----
Let the number be 10t+u; t is the 10's digit; u is the units digit
----------------------
Equations:
t + u = 10
10t+u-36 = 10u+t
-----------------------
Modify:
t + u = 10
9t-9u = 36
------
Rearrange for elimination:
t + u = 10
t - u = 4
-------------
Add to solve for "t":
2t = 14
t = 7
------
Solve for "u":
t + u = 10
u = 3
----
Ans: 10t+u = 73
