a number consists of two digits the digits in the ten's place is 3 times the digit in the unit place if 54 is subtracted from the number the digits are reversed.
\n" ); document.write( " The number is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let the two digit number = 10x + y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the ten's place is 3 times the digit in the unit place\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"if 54 is subtracted from the number the digits are reversed.\"
\n" ); document.write( "10x + y - 54 = 10y + x
\n" ); document.write( "10x - x = 10y - y + 54
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 9y + 54
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by 9
\n" ); document.write( "x = y + 6
\n" ); document.write( "Replace x with 3y
\n" ); document.write( "3y = y + 6
\n" ); document.write( "3y - y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3(3)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "93 is the number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"if 54 is subtracted from the number the digits are reversed.\"
\n" ); document.write( "93 - 54 = 39 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
