Question 242911
The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 6. If the hundreds and tens are reversed, the resulting number is 90 more than the original number.If the tens and units digits are reversed,the resulting number is 9 more than the original number. Find the original number
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
Let h = the hundreds digit
Let t = the tens digit
Let u = the units digit
</pre></font></b>
Then the original number = {{{100h + 10t + u}}}
The number formed by reversing the hundreds and tens digits = {{{100t+10h+u}}}
The number formed by reversing the tens and units digits = {{{100h+10u+t}}}

The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 6.
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
That says:

{{{h + t + u = 6}}}
</pre></font></b>
If the hundreds and tens are reversed, the 
resulting number is 90 more than the original number
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
That says:

{{{100t + 10h + u = (100h + 10t + u) + 90}}}

Simplifying:

{{{100t + 10h + u = 100h + 10t + u + 90}}}
{{{90t - 90h = 90}}}
{{{t - h = 1}}}
</pre></font></b>
If the tens and units digits are reversed,the resulting number is 9 more than the original number. 
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
{{{100h + 10u + t = (100h + 10t + u) + 9}}}
{{{100h + 10u + t = 100h + 10t + u + 9}}}
{{{9u - 9t = 9}}}
{{{u - t = 1}}}

Simplifying:

{{{system(h + t + u = 6,t-h=1,u - t = 1)}}}

Solve that and get {{{h=1}}}, {{{t=2}}}, {{{u=3}}}.

So the original number = 123

Checking:

The original number = 123
The number formed by reversing the hundreds and tens digits = 213
The number formed by reversing the tens and units digits = 132.

213 is 90 more than 123.  That checks

132 is 9 more than 123. That checks.
 
So it's correct.  The original number is 123.
