Answer:
The original digit is 62
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Tens be represented with T
Let the Units be represented with U
Given:
Unknown Two digit number
Required:
Determine the number
Since, it's a two digit number, then the number can be represented as;
[tex]T * 10 + U[/tex]
From the first sentence, we have that;
[tex]T = 4 + U[/tex]
[tex]T = 4+U[/tex]
Interchanging the digit, we have the new digit to be [tex]U * 10 + T[/tex]
So;
[tex](U * 10 + T) + (T * 10+ U) = 88[/tex]
[tex]10U + T + 10T + U= 88[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]10U + U + T + 10T = 88[/tex]
[tex]11U + 11T = 88[/tex]
Divide through by 11
[tex]U + T = 8[/tex]
Recall that [tex]T = 4+U[/tex]
[tex]U + T = 8[/tex] becomes
[tex]U + 4 + U = 8[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]U + U = 8 - 4[/tex]
[tex]2U = 4[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]U = 2[/tex]
Substitute 2 for U in [tex]T = 4+U[/tex]
[tex]T = 4 + 2[/tex]
[tex]T = 6[/tex]
Recall that the original digit is [tex]T * 10 + U[/tex]
Substitute 6 for T and 2 for U
[tex]T * 10 + U[/tex]
[tex]6 * 10 + 2[/tex]
[tex]60 + 2[/tex]
[tex]62[/tex]
Hence, the original digit is 62
