The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( x \) = digit at the unit's place - \( y \) = digit at the tens place ### Step 2: Formulate the Equations From the problem statement, we have two key pieces of information: 1. The digit at the tens place is equal to the square of the digit at the units place: \[ y = x^2 \] 2. If 54 is subtracted from the number, the digits get interchanged. The original number can be expressed as \( 10y + x \). After subtracting 54, the number becomes \( 10x + y \): \[ 10y + x - 54 = 10x + y \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the Second Equation Rearranging the second equation gives: \[ 10y + x - 54 = 10x + y \] \[ 10y - y + x - 10x = 54 \] \[ 9y - 9x = 54 \] Dividing the entire equation by 9: \[ y - x = 6 \] So, we have: \[ y = x + 6 \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Value of \( y \) Now, we can substitute the value of \( y \) from the first equation into the second: \[ x^2 = x + 6 \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - x - 6 = 0 \] ### Step 6: Factor the Quadratic Equation We can factor this quadratic equation: \[ (x - 3)(x + 2) = 0 \] Thus, the solutions for \( x \) are: \[ x = 3 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -2 \] ### Step 7: Determine Valid Values Since \( x \) represents a digit, it must be a non-negative integer. Therefore, we discard \( x = -2 \) and keep: \[ x = 3 \] ### Step 8: Find \( y \) Now, substitute \( x = 3 \) back into the equation for \( y \): \[ y = x^2 = 3^2 = 9 \] ### Step 9: Form the Original Number Now we can find the original two-digit number: \[ \text{Number} = 10y + x = 10(9) + 3 = 90 + 3 = 93 \] ### Conclusion The two-digit natural number is: \[ \boxed{93} \]
