The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit of a two-digit number is one-half. The tens digit is two more than the units digit. Find the number.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let the tens digit be T and the units digit, U
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+U%2FT%2C+%22=%22%2C+1%2F2%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "T = 2U ------- Cross-multiply ------ eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "Also, T = U + 2 ------ eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "2U = U + 2 ------- Substituting 2U for T in eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "2U  -  U = 2
\n" );
document.write( "U, or units digit = 2\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "T = 2(2) ------- Substituting 2 for U in eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "T, or tens digit = 4

document.write( "For the \"life of me,\" I don't know why @MATHLOVER and @THEO just love to COMPLICATE these math problems when they can be solved much, much easier

document.write( "and in far less time than they make them seem. I really don't believe anyone having problems with math wants to take FOREVER to solve math problems. \n" );
