Answer» Answer: Number = 96 Reversed = 69 Step-by-step explanation: Let the number be ab. ( where a is the tens digit and b is the UNIT one ) Original number (equation) = 10a + b_(1 we have given that their sum is 15. so, a + b = 15 a = 15 - b_(2 Now, reversed number (EQ) = 10b + a_(3 Original no. = Reversed no. + 27 (given 10a + b = (10b + a) + 27 [eq1 = 27 +eq3] (substituting the eq 3 here) 10(15 - b) + b = (10b + 15-b) + 27 150 - 10b + b = 9B + 42 108 = 18b 6 = b a = 15 - b (eq2 a = 15 - 6 a = 9 hence, the original number is 96. |
