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( " |
