I am a three digit number that is even.
My one hundreds and ones digit is the same and have a sum of ten.
My tens digit is two less than my ones digit.
What number am I?
:
Let x = the hundreds, and the one's digit
let y = the 10's digit
then
100x + 10y + x = the number
:
"My one hundreds and ones digit is the same and have a sum of ten."
from this statement: x = 5, how could it be even then?
:
"My tens digit is two less than my ones digit."
y = 5 - 2
y = 3
:
535 is the number but it is not even
