Question3. The difference of the digits of a two-digit number is 5 . When the digits are reversed, the number decreases by 45 . Find the original number.
161, ว2, 83,94

Studdy Solution
Construct the original number from the digits.
Since the tens digit x=y+5 x = y + 5 , and both x x and y y must be digits (0 through 9), find suitable values: - If y=2 y = 2 , then x=2+5=7 x = 2 + 5 = 7 .
Therefore, the original number is: \[ 10x + y = 10(7) + 2 = 72$
The original number is 72 \boxed{72} .
