Interchanging Of Digits Problems

Example: The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 11. If we interchange the digits then the new number formed is 45 less than the original. Find the original number. Solution: Step 1: Assign variables : Let x = ones digit t = tens digit

Sentence: The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 11. x + t = 11 Isolate variable x x = 11 t (equation 1)

Step 2: Convert digits to number Original number = t 10 + x Interchanged number = x 10 + t Sentence: If we interchange the digits then the new number formed is 45 less than the original. Interchanged = Original 45 x 10 + t = t 10 + x 45 10x + t = 10t + x 45

10x x + t = 10t 45 (x to both sides) 10x x = 10t t 45 ( t to both sides) 10x x + 45 = 10t t (+ 45 to both sides) 10t t = 10x x + 45 (Rewrite equation with t on the left hand side)

Combine like terms 10t t = 10x x + 45 9t = 9x + 45 (equation 2) Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 9t = 9(11 t) + 45 9t = 99 9t + 45 Isolate variable t 9t + 9t = 99 + 45 18t = 144

The tens digit is 8. The ones digit is 11 8 = 3

Answer: The number is 83.

In a 2-Digit number, the one's digit is 5 less than the 10's digit. If the number is equal to 8 times the sum of its digit, find the number. Let the tens digit be x. Let the ones digit is 5 'less' than 'tens digit'--->(x) which means=x-5. If the number is equal to 8 times the sum of its digit. ***Lets break the above phrase and translate it into algebra.**** In this case the number means----> 10(tens digit)+ (units). So the number-----> is equal to----> '=' 8 times -----> 8*

the sum of its digit (which means just add the digits)---->

The tens digit is 7. The units digit is The number is = = =

So the number is 72
