The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the two-digit number using its digits and then set up equations based on the conditions provided. ### Step 1: Define the digits Let the two-digit number be represented as \( 10x + y \), where: - \( x \) is the digit in the tens place - \( y \) is the digit in the units place ### Step 2: Set up the first equation According to the problem, the sum of the digits is 11. Therefore, we can write: \[ x + y = 11 \quad \text{(1)} \] ### Step 3: Set up the second equation The problem states that if the digit in the tens place is increased by 5 and the digit in the units place is decreased by 5, the digits are reversed. This gives us the equation: \[ 10(x + 5) + (y - 5) = 10y + x \] ### Step 4: Simplify the second equation Expanding the left side: \[ 10x + 50 + y - 5 = 10y + x \] This simplifies to: \[ 10x + y + 45 = 10y + x \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the equation Now, rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 10x - x + y - 10y + 45 = 0 \] Which simplifies to: \[ 9x - 9y + 45 = 0 \] Dividing through by 9: \[ x - y + 5 = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] ### Step 6: Solve the system of equations Now we have a system of equations: 1. \( x + y = 11 \) (from step 2) 2. \( x - y + 5 = 0 \) (from step 5) From equation (2), we can express \( x \) in terms of \( y \): \[ x = y - 5 \quad \text{(3)} \] ### Step 7: Substitute equation (3) into equation (1) Substituting equation (3) into equation (1): \[ (y - 5) + y = 11 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2y - 5 = 11 \] Adding 5 to both sides: \[ 2y = 16 \] Dividing by 2: \[ y = 8 \] ### Step 8: Find \( x \) Now, substituting \( y = 8 \) back into equation (1): \[ x + 8 = 11 \] Thus, \[ x = 3 \] ### Step 9: Write the original number The original two-digit number is: \[ 10x + y = 10(3) + 8 = 30 + 8 = 38 \] ### Final Answer The original number is **38**.
