A number is of two digits one of which is square of other and the number is formed by reversing the digits exceeds twice the number by 15. find the number
-------
Let the number be 10t+u
-------
u = t^2 -
10u+t = 2(10t+u)+15
------
Substitute for "u" and solve for "t":
10t^2+t = 2(10t+t^2) + 15
---------
10t^2t +t = 20t + 2t^2 + 15
-----
8t^2 - 19t -15 = 0
Factor::
8t^2 -24t+5t -15
8t(t-3)+5(t-3)
(t-3)(8t+5) = 0
----
Positive solution:
t = 3
u = t^2 = 9
-----
Number: 10t + u = 39
