You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of the squares of the digits of a certain two digit positive integer is 20. The integer is seven times the sum of its digits. Find the integer.
-----
Let the number be 10t+u
------
Equation:
t^2 + u^2 = 20
10t+u = 7(t+u)
-------------------------
Simplify::
t^2 + u^2 = 20
t = 2u
--
Substitute and solve for "u":
4u^2 + u^2 = 20
5u^2 = 20
u = 2 or u = -2
---------------
If u = 2, t = 4 giving you 10t+u = 42
if u = -2, t = -4 giving you 10t+u = -42
---------------------------------
