Four times the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is equal to the number. If the digits are reversed, the resulting number is 27 greater than the original number. What is the number?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "A difference of 27 by reversing the digits means they differ by 3 (27/9) and the units digit is greater. (proof available)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "t = tens digit
\n" ); document.write( "u = units digit
\n" ); document.write( "u = t+3
\n" ); document.write( "10t + u = 4(t+u)
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for u
\n" ); document.write( "10t + t+3 = 4t + 4(t+3) = 8t + 12
\n" ); document.write( "11t + 3 = 8t + 12
\n" ); document.write( "t = 3
\n" ); document.write( "u = 6
\n" ); document.write( "--> 36
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
