A number has 4 digits.
\n" ); document.write( "No digits in the number are repeated.
\n" ); document.write( "The digit in the tens place is three times the digit in the thousands place.
\n" ); document.write( "The number is odd.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the digits in the number is 27.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the number?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = the thousands digit
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the 100's
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = the 10's
\n" ); document.write( "Let z = the units
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The digit in the tens place is three times the digit in the thousands place.
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3w
\n" ); document.write( "Use some an assumption and some logic here
\n" ); document.write( "With a total of 27, we have to assume one digit is 9, w has to be less than 4
\n" ); document.write( "let y = 9
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "w = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "So we have:
\n" ); document.write( "3 + x + 9 + z = 27
\n" ); document.write( "12 + x + z = 27
\n" ); document.write( "x + z = 27 - 15
\n" ); document.write( "x + z = 15
\n" ); document.write( "there are only 2 single digit pairs that add up to 15
\n" ); document.write( "6 & 9
\n" ); document.write( "7 & 8
\n" ); document.write( "we have already used 9 (no repeats), it must be 7 & 8
\n" ); document.write( "the last digit has to be odd, therefore we have
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "z = 7
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Our number: 3897
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
