The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 10. if 18 is added to the number, the digits of the new number are those of the original number but in reverse order. find the original number.

46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent a number with in the ten's position and is the one's position.

This means actually has value of .

We are given the sum of those digits of is 10; this means .

It says if 18 is added to the number , then the result is .

So has value and

has value .

We are given then:

Subtract on both sides:

Simplify:

Subtract on both sides:

Divide both sides by 9:

Rearrange by commutative property:

So the system of equations we want to solve is:

-------------------------Add equations together (this will eliminate the variable and allow you to go ahead and solve for :

Divide both sides by 2:

Simplify:

If and , then .   since 4+6=10.

So the original number is (46).

18 more than 46 is 18+46=(64) which is what we wanted.

We also have the sum of 4 and 6 is 10 as well.

32

step-by-step explanation:

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .
