The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the two-digit number based on its digits and then use the given conditions to form equations. ### Step 1: Define the digits of the two-digit number Let the unit digit of the number be \( x \) and the tens digit be \( y \). Therefore, the two-digit number can be expressed as: \[ 10y + x \] ### Step 2: Set up the first equation based on the sum of the digits According to the problem, the two-digit number is four times the sum of its digits. The sum of the digits is \( x + y \). Thus, we can write the equation: \[ 10y + x = 4(x + y) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the first equation Expanding the right side gives: \[ 10y + x = 4x + 4y \] Rearranging this equation, we get: \[ 10y - 4y = 4x - x \] \[ 6y = 3x \] Dividing both sides by 3 gives: \[ 2y = x \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 4: Set up the second equation based on the product of the digits The problem also states that the two-digit number is three times the product of its digits. The product of the digits is \( xy \). Thus, we can write the second equation: \[ 10y + x = 3xy \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( x \) from Equation 1 into the second equation From Equation 1, we know \( x = 2y \). Substituting this into the second equation gives: \[ 10y + 2y = 3(2y)y \] This simplifies to: \[ 12y = 6y^2 \] ### Step 6: Rearrange and simplify the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 6y^2 - 12y = 0 \] Factoring out \( 6y \) gives: \[ 6y(y - 2) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( y \) Setting each factor to zero gives: \[ 6y = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad y - 2 = 0 \] Thus, \( y = 0 \) or \( y = 2 \). Since \( y \) represents the tens digit of a two-digit number, it cannot be 0. Therefore: \[ y = 2 \] ### Step 8: Find \( x \) using Equation 1 Now, substituting \( y = 2 \) back into Equation 1: \[ x = 2y = 2 \cdot 2 = 4 \] ### Step 9: Form the two-digit number Now that we have both digits, \( x = 4 \) and \( y = 2 \), we can find the two-digit number: \[ 10y + x = 10 \cdot 2 + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24 \] ### Final Answer The two-digit number is: \[ \boxed{24} \]
