Question 887979: A number consists of two-digits. The digit at the units place is 3 times the digit at the tens place. If 36 is added to the number, the digits are reversed. Find the number. Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What are the possibilities given that the ones place is 3x the tens?
13
26
39
Which of the three, when 36 is added, reverses its digits?
13 + 36 = 39 ... nope
26 + 36 = 62... woohoo!
39 + 26 = 67... that doesn't work either
.
The only possibility is 26.
