Question

The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 12. The second digit is 6 more than the first digit. What was the original number

Answer 1

39 is the awnser for this problem

Answer 2

Explanation:

lets take the first number as x

if the second digit is 6 more than the first, we should take it as x+6

if they add up to 12,then:

x+x+6 = 12

2x = 12 -6

2x = 6

x = 6/2=3

if the 1st digit is 3, then the 2nd will be 6+3=9

so the 2 digit number is 39
