the units digits of a two digit number is one more than fourtimes the ten digits ;find the number if the sum digits is 11

Sagot :

Let 'x' be the tens digit
       'y' be the ones digit
  'x(10) + y' is the two-digit number
----------------------------------
-the units digit is one more than 4 times the tens
y = 4x + 1  ------equation 1
---------------------------------
-the sum of the digits is 11
x + y = 11 ----equation 2
--------------------------------
substitute equation 1 to equation 2
x + y = 11
x + 4x + 1 = 11 
Transpose 1 to the right side of the equation 
x + 4x = 11 - 1
5x = 10
x = 2
------------------------------
substitute x=2 to equation 1
y = 4x + 1
y = 4(2) + 1
y = 8 + 1
y = 9
-----------------------------
the number as stated above in the variable designation is 10x + y
10x + y = 10(2) + 9
             = 20 + 9
             = 29
----------------------------
Therefore the two-digit number is 29.
