Five times the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 13 less than the original number. If you reverse the digits in the two-digit number, four times the sum of its two digits is 21 less than the reversed two-digit number.
------------------------
Number:: 10t + u
Reverse: 10u + t
---------------------
Equations:
5(t+u) = 10t+u-13
4(t+u) = (10u+t)-21
---------
Rearrange:
-5t + 4u = -13
3t - 6u = -21
-----------------
Modify for elimination::
-15t + 12u = -39
-15t + 30u = 105
------
18u = 144
u = 8
----
Solve for "t":
-15t + 96 = -39
-15t = -135
t = 9
-----
Ans:: Number = 10t+u = 98
--------------------------
