When you reverse the digits in a certain two digit number you decrease its value by 27.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the number if the sum of its digits is 5?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let ten's digit be x
\n" ); document.write( "units digit be y
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x+y = 5.................1
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "10y+x= 10x+y-27
\n" ); document.write( "9y-9x=-27
\n" ); document.write( "/9
\n" ); document.write( "y-x=-3...................2
\n" ); document.write( "add (1) & (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2y=-3+5
\n" ); document.write( "2y=2
\n" ); document.write( "/2
\n" ); document.write( "y=1
\n" ); document.write( "So x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "The number is 41
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
