The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 18.
The ten's digit is 2 more than the unit's digit.
If the digits are reversed, the resulting number is 396 less than the original number.
Find the original number.
:
Three digits, x & y & z
the number: 100x + 10y + z
:
"The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 18."
x + Y + z = 18
:
" The ten's digit is 2 more than the unit's digit.
y = z + 2
:
"If the digits are reversed, the resulting number is 396 less than the original number."
original number - 396 = reversed number
100x + 10y + z - 396 = 100z + 10y + x
Group like terms and combine
100x - x + 10y - 10y = 100z - z + 396
99x = 99z + 396
Simplify, divide equation by 99
x = z + 4
:
Find the original number.
:
Using the equation x + y + z = 18, replace y and x
(z+4) + (z + 2) + z = 18
3z + 6 = 18
3z = 18 - 6
3z = 12
z = 4
:
I'll let you find x and y using the equations derived from the statements
Construct the number using 100x + 10y + z, check in last statement
