Algebra.Com's Answer #433416 by josgarithmetic(39618)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume the number takes the expanded form, x*10+y*1, and the digits are x and y.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1) Either x-y=1, OR y-x=1. \n" ); document.write( "(2) The other description translates to 10x+y=1+5(x+y)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using equation #2, 10x+y=1+5x+5y, \n" ); document.write( "5x+y=1+5y \n" ); document.write( "5x-4y=1\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we now chose from eq.#1, y-x=1, we find x=y-1. Substitute this into 5x-4y=1. \n" ); document.write( "5(y-1)-4y=1 \n" ); document.write( "couple more steps, \n" ); document.write( "y=6 \n" ); document.write( "Therefore x=5\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 56 \n" ); document.write( " |
