You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the digit in tens place be x and that in ones place is y.so the two digit no is 10x +y. (ex: 56 = 5*10 +6)
\n" ); document.write( "given 12 is subtracted from four times sum of digits gives the number:
\n" ); document.write( "i.e 4 ( x+y) -12 = 10x + y (digits are x & y , so sum =x+y)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "also, adding 6 to twice the difference gives the number
\n" ); document.write( "i.e. 2 ( y - x) + 6 = 10x + y .( consider that tens place digit is less than ones place digit, if u put x - y , you will end up in negative answers, so take y-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i.e , 4 (x + y ) -12 = 2(y-x) +6 (since RHS are equal, LHS are also equal)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 4x + 4y -12 = 2y -2x +6
\n" ); document.write( " 4x+2x +4y -2y -12-6 =0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 6x + 2y -18 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 2 ; 3x + y - 9 =0
\n" ); document.write( " y = 9 - 3x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "substitute y = 9-3x in eq: 4 ( x+y) - 12 = 10x +y \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 ( x + 9 - 3x ) -12 = 10x + 9-3x
\n" ); document.write( " 4x + 36 -12x -12 = 7x +9
\n" ); document.write( "-8x + 24 = 7x + 9
\n" ); document.write( " 24-9 = 7x +8x
\n" ); document.write( " 15 = 15x
\n" ); document.write( " x = 15 / 15 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "put x=1 in y =9-3x and find y
\n" ); document.write( " y= 9-3*1= 9-3 =6
\n" ); document.write( "so the number is 10x + y = 10*1 + 6 = 10+6 =16. \n" ); document.write( "
