Algebra.Com's Answer #412414 by DrBeeee(684)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sorry, thought I could cut corners and give you the quick answer. Here's the whole story. \n" ); document.write( "Let n = tens digit \n" ); document.write( "Let m = units digit \n" ); document.write( "Then your whole number is \n" ); document.write( "(1) N = 10*n + m, agree? \n" ); document.write( "Now you tell me that the sum of the two digits is 1/7th of N or \n" ); document.write( "(2) n + m = 1/7*(10*n + m) \n" ); document.write( "You also tell me that the units digit is 3 or \n" ); document.write( "(3) m = 3 \n" ); document.write( "Now to solve, put (3) into (2) and get \n" ); document.write( "(4) n + 3 = 1/7*(10*n + 3) or \n" ); document.write( "(5) 7*n + 21 = 10*n + 3, where I simply multiplied both sides by 7. \n" ); document.write( "or \n" ); document.write( "(6) 3*n = 18 or \n" ); document.write( "(7) n = 6 \n" ); document.write( "Therefore your number is from (1) \n" ); document.write( "(8) N = 10*6 + 3 or \n" ); document.write( "(9) N = 63, voila! The wizard strikes again. lol\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
