Question 599025: The sum of a 2-digit number is 12. The difference of the digit is 2. find the number if the units digit is larger than the ten digit. What is the equation i should use? Answer by flame8855(424) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x be the larger number ( ones)
Let y be the smaller number (tens)
x+y = 12
x-y= 2
solve the two equations
x = 7 , y = 4
the number is 47
