The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more

The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number. Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place is y and the digit in the ten’s place is 푥. ∴ The number = 10 푥 + 푦 ∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = ∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132 ∴ 10 푥 + 푦 + 10 푦 + 푥 = ∴ x + y = (I) , By second condition, Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2 ∴ x – y = 2 . . . (II) Solving equation (I) and (II) ∴ x = y = Ans: The original number =​

  1. Answer:

    The original number=75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the unit digit=x

    then digit at 10’s place=x+2

    Then original number N =10*(x+2)+x

    =10x+20+x

    N=11x+20

    Number formed after interchanging the digits

    N’=10x+x+2=11x+2

    Given that

    N+N’=132

    11x+20+11x+2=132

    22x=132-22=110

    x=110/22=5

    Thus unit digit of original number=5

    Digit at 10’s place=5+2=7

    Thus the original number=75
