Explanation of Solution
Given information:
When the digits of a two-digit number are reversed , the new number is 18 more than the original number.
Formula used:
Digit problems are based on our decimal system of numeration.
Step1. The problem asks for the original number.
Step2. Let t = the tens digit of the original number.
Let u = the units digit of the original number.
Step3. Use the facts of the problem to write two equations.
Step4. Solve the equations.
Calculation:
Consider ,
Let t = the tens digit of the original number.
Let u = the units digit of the original number.
Tens | Units | Value | |
Original number | t | u | |
Reversed digits | u | t |
According to the question,
Hence, the expression is
