Let 10x+y=the two digit number
\n" ); document.write( "Then 10x+y=7y subtract 7y from each side
\n" ); document.write( "10x+y-7y=7y-7y collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "10x-6y=0-------------------------------------eq1
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "10x+y+18=10y+x subtract 10x+y from each side
\n" ); document.write( "10x-10x+y-y+18=10y-y+x-10x collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "18=9y-9x or
\n" ); document.write( "-9x+9y=18 divide eacn term by 9
\n" ); document.write( "-x+y=2-----------------------------------eq2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply eq2 by 10 and then add it to eq1 and we get
\n" ); document.write( "4y=20 divide each side by 4
\n" ); document.write( "y=5 -----------------------------------------the units digit
\n" ); document.write( "substitute y=5 into eq2:
\n" ); document.write( "-x+5=2 subtract 5 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "-x+5-5=2-5 collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "x=3 -------------------------------------------tens digit
\n" ); document.write( "The number is
\n" ); document.write( "10*3+5=35\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "35=7*5
\n" ); document.write( "35=35
\n" ); document.write( "Also
\n" ); document.write( "35+18=53
\n" ); document.write( "digits are reversed\r
