1) A number of two digits is increased by 9. When the digits are reversed, the sum of the digit is 5. Find the number.

2) A number of two digits is such that twice the tens digit is 8 less than seven times the unit digit. When the digits are reversed, the number is decreased by 9. What is the number?

3) A number is such that thrice it is 14 less than five times the number. Find the number.

4) The tens digit of a two-digit number is 3 greater than the units digit. When the digits are reversed, the number is reduced by 27. What is the number?

5) if i invest #3000 at x% and #4000 at y%, my annual income is #290. If i had invested #600 at x% and #700 at y % my income would have been #53. Find x and y.

1. Two digits, a & b
then
10a+b = "the number"
:
Write an equation for each statement:
:
a number of two digits is increased by 9.
10a + b + 9
When the digits are reversed,
10a + b + 9 = 10b + a
10a - a + 9 = 10b - b
9a + 9 = 9b
divide by 9
a + 1 = b
a - b = -1
"the sum of the digit is 5"
a + b = 5
:
Use elimination
a - b = -1
a + b = 5
------------Adding eliminates b, find a
2a = 4
a = 2
Find b
2 + b = 5
b = 3
23 is the original number, add 9 you get 32, reversed digits, add up to 5

I no get time for the rest.
Let someone else do it.

Re: Help Me Solve This Mathematics Questions by PrinxArthur1(m): 11:07am On Aug 03, 2020
Answer to No.2
let the tens digit be x, and the unit digit be y
So the number is 10x + y,
the number reversed is 10y + x

10x+y - (10y+x) = 9
9x - 9y = 9
x - y = 1 or x = y+1 **

2x = 7y-8
sub in **
2(y+1) = 7y - 8
2y + 2 = 7y - 8
-5y = -10
y = 2

The number is 32

check:
the number reversed is 23, which is 9 less than 32.
Twice the ten digit is 6
7 times the unit digit = 14, which is 8 less than 6

Re: Help Me Solve This Mathematics Questions by superstel(f): 2:39pm On Aug 03, 2020
Answer to No. 3
Let the unknown number be A
3A=5A-14
14=5A-3A
14=2A
Divide through by 2
A=7
Replacing 'A' in the question
3x7=21
5x7=35
Thus, 35-14=21

No 5
X% of 3000 + y% of 4000= 290...(1)
X% of600 +y% of 700 = 53..(1)

Resolving.. (1) gives
30x + 40 y= 290..(3)
Resolving.. (2) gives
6x + 7y = 53..(4)
From.. (4)
X= ((53-7y)/6)
Sub for x in (3)
30((53-7y)/6) +40y= 290
1590-210y+240y=1740
30y=150
Y= 5

Sub for y in 4
6x+ 7(5)= 53
6x + 35 = 53
X = 18/6
=3

let x be the number
let a be tens digit of x increased by 9
le
t b be unit digit of x increased by 9

a + b = 5
a = 5 - b
b
= 5 - a
x = 10a + b - 9 = 9a - 4 = 41 - 9b

Test for x = 10 <= x <= 90

x =
23, a = 3, b = 2
x = 32, a = 4, b = 1

x is valid for 14, 23, 32 and 41

let x be the number
let
a be the tens digit of x
let b be the unit digit of x

2a = 7b - 8
a
= ( 7b - 8 ) / 2
b = ( 2a + 8 ) / 7
x
= 10a + b

T
est for 10 <= x <= 99
x = 40, a = (-)4, b = 0

x
= 40;




3.

let x be the number
5x - 3x = 14
2x = 14

x = 7




4.

let x be the number
let a be the tens digit of x
l
et b be the unit digit of x
le
t y be x reversed

a - b = 3
a
= b + 3
b = a - 3
x =
10a + b = 11b + 30 = 11a - 3
y = 10b + a = 11a - 30 = 11b + 3
x
- y = 27

Test for 10 <= x <= 99
x

No 2

Let the tens digit be a and the unit digit be b.
Twice the tens digit= 2a
Is 8 less than 7 times the unit digit which is 7b
2a = 7b - 8
When the digits are reversed is 10b + a= 10a+b-9

2a=7b-8.....1
10b+a=10a+b-9..….2

From equ 2

9b-9a=-9 x -2
7b-2a=8 x 9
-18b+18a=18...4
63b-18a=72....5
Add equ 4 and 5
45b=90
b= 90/45= 2
From equ4

-36+18a=36
a= 72/18= 3

So, ab =32

No 3

A number, such that thrice it.. 3(10x+y)= 5(10x+y)-14.....1

30x+3y= 50x+5y-14....2
20x+2yy=14.....3
Divide all through by 2
10x+y=7

The number (10+y)= 7

Number 1: there are four of those numbers:
1. 14 + 9 = 23
2. 23 + 9 = 32
3. 32 + 9 = 41
4. 41 + 9 = 50

If you add those answers, either reversed or not, their summations give 5.
Mathematics is fun, you will also notice previous result serves as the new number as in boldes.

I'm too lazy to work that out, but my wizard I created with my own hand did that in less than 1.5seconds.

I don't have time for other questions now.

To be a good mathematician, you need to have a good command of English. The people who have solved question 1 only did so because they've probably come across questions like that in their secondary school, and so used their experience to predict how the word problem should be solved. The period added before the "When", doesn't make it solvable.
