Math Problem Statement

Number consist of two digit the digit at a tense places 3 more than two times the digit at a unit place the number formed by the words in the digit is 8 more than 1 third of the original number find the original number

Solution

Let the original number be xy\overline{xy}, where xx is the digit at the tens place and yy is the digit at the units place. Thus, the number can be written as 10x+y10x + y.

According to the problem, we have two conditions:

  1. The digit at the tens place (x) is 3 more than two times the digit at the units place (y).
  2. The number formed by reversing the digits (i.e., yx\overline{yx} or 10y+x10y + x) is 8 more than one third of the original number.

We can express these conditions mathematically as follows:

  1. x=2y+3x = 2y + 3
  2. 10y+x=13(10x+y)+810y + x = \frac{1}{3}(10x + y) + 8

Let's solve these equations step by step.

Step 1: Solve for xx in terms of yy

From the first condition: x=2y+3x = 2y + 3

Step 2: Substitute xx in the second condition

Substitute x=2y+3x = 2y + 3 into the second equation: 10y+(2y+3)=13(10(2y+3)+y)+810y + (2y + 3) = \frac{1}{3}(10(2y + 3) + y) + 8

Simplify the left side: 10y+2y+3=12y+310y + 2y + 3 = 12y + 3

Simplify the right side: 13(20y+30+y)+8=13(21y+30)+8=7y+10+8=7y+18\frac{1}{3}(20y + 30 + y) + 8 = \frac{1}{3}(21y + 30) + 8 = 7y + 10 + 8 = 7y + 18

So we have: 12y+3=7y+1812y + 3 = 7y + 18

Step 3: Solve for yy

12y+3=7y+1812y + 3 = 7y + 18 Subtract 7y7y from both sides: 5y+3=185y + 3 = 18 Subtract 3 from both sides: 5y=155y = 15 Divide by 5: y=3y = 3

Step 4: Find xx

x=2y+3x = 2y + 3 Substitute y=3y = 3: x=2(3)+3=6+3=9x = 2(3) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9

Step 5: Determine the original number

The original number is xy=93\overline{xy} = 93.

Verification

  1. The digit at the tens place (9) is 3 more than two times the digit at the units place (3): 9=2(3)+3=6+3=99 = 2(3) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9 (Correct)

  2. The number formed by reversing the digits (39) is 8 more than one third of the original number (93): 10y+x=3910y + x = 39 13(93)+8=31+8=39\frac{1}{3}(93) + 8 = 31 + 8 = 39 (Correct)

Thus, the original number is 93\boxed{93}.
