If the digits are reversed and the new number is divided by the original, the qoutient is 2 and the remainder is 7. What is the original number? \n" ); document.write( "*** \n" ); document.write( "let u=units digit \n" ); document.write( "let t=tens digit \n" ); document.write( "u=t+5 \n" ); document.write( "original number=10t+u \n" ); document.write( "new number=10u+t \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(11t+5)(22t+17)=(11t+50)(11t+5) \n" ); document.write( "242t^2+297t+85=121t^2+605t+250 \n" ); document.write( "121t^2-308t-165=0 \n" ); document.write( "solve for t by quadratic formula: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "a=121, b=-308, c=165 \n" ); document.write( "ans: \n" ); document.write( "t=-55/121≈-0.4545(reject) \n" ); document.write( "or \n" ); document.write( "t=3 \n" ); document.write( "u=t+5=8 \n" ); document.write( "Check: \n" ); document.write( "original number=38 \n" ); document.write( "new number=83 \n" ); document.write( "new number/original number=83/38=2+Remainder=7 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
