Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The unit's digit in the two-digit number is greater than the ten's digit by1. . The number equals four times the sum of its digits.

STEP 2

Let's denote the ten's digit as xx and the unit's digit as yy. According to the problem, we have the following two equations1. y=x+1y = x +1
2. 10x+y=4(x+y)10x + y =4(x + y)

STEP 3

Substitute y=x+1y = x +1 into the second equation, we get10x+x+1=(x+x+1)10x + x +1 =(x + x +1)

STEP 4

implify the equation11x+1=8x+411x +1 =8x +4

STEP 5

Subtract 8x8x from both sides of the equation3x+1=43x +1 =4

STEP 6

Subtract1 from both sides of the equation3x=33x =3

STEP 7

Divide both sides of the equation by3x=1x =1

STEP 8

Substitute x=1x =1 into the first equation y=x+1y = x +1y=1+1=2y =1 +1 =2

STEP 9

So the two-digit number is x+y=+2=12x + y =* +2 =12.
So the number is12. The correct answer is (c)12.
