The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 14. If the number formed by reversing the digits is less than the original number by 18. Find the original numbers.

86

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a+b=14 ⇒ a= 14-b

2. 10a+b=18+10b+a ⇒ a= 2+b

comparing 1 and 2:

14-b= 2+b ⇒ 2b= 12 ⇒ b= 6

a= 14-b= 8

number = 86

reversed number = 68

step-by-step explanation:

107 units

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
