When the digits of two-digit, positive integer M are reversed, the result is the two-digit, positive integer N. If M > N, what is the value of M

The value of M is 91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose T represents the tens digit and U represents the units digit.

Then the numbers M and N are:

M = 10T + U

N = 10U + T

Compute the value of M - N as follows:

M - N = 10T + U - 10U - T = 9T - 9U = 9 (T - U)

Given:

M > N

⇒ T - U > 0

⇒ T > U

Also, M - N is a multiple of 9.

Since M - N is a two-digit number, the possible values of M - N are:

18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, and 72

The values 81, 90 and 99 would not be considered since:

9 × 9 = 81

9 × 10 = 90

9 × 11 = 99

T - U = 9 (T - U) = 9 , 10 or 11 respectively and the largest difference for T − U we can get is 9 - 0 = 9 - 0 = 9.

Even this would result in N = 9, which is not a 2-digit number.

It is provided that the integer (M - N) has 12  factors.

Of the possible values of M - N the integer with 12 factors is 72.

The factors of 72 are:

1×72

2×36

3×24

4×18

6×12

8×9

So, M - N = 72.

⇒ M - N = 9 (T - U)

        72 = 9 × 8

⇒ T - U = 8

And since T > U, the values of T and U are:

T = 9 and U = 1

We cannot use T - U = 8 - 0 = 8, because then N will be not a two-digit number.

So, M = 91 and N = 19 and their difference is 72.

Thus, the value of M is 91.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
