In a two-digit number, the ten's digit is 3 more than the one's digit. If the digits are reversed, the difference between the two numbers is 27. Find the number.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the number be 10t + u where t is the tens digit and u is the units digit.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATIONS:
\n" ); document.write( "t = u+3
\n" ); document.write( "(10t+u)-(10u+t) = 27
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "t - u = 3
\n" ); document.write( "9t - 9u = 27
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "t - u = 3
\n" ); document.write( "t - u = 3
\n" ); document.write( " -----------------
\n" ); document.write( "solution: t = u+3
\n" ); document.write( "The number is 30 or 41, or 52, or 63, 74, 85, 96
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "All these numbers are correct answers.
