Ray writes a two digit number. He sees that the number exceeds 4 times the sum of its digits by 3. If the number is increased by 18, the result is the same as the number formed by reversing the digits. Find the number.

• 10x+y=4(x+y)+3;
  10x+y=10y+x-18;
  after solving these two eqn.s we will get x=3; y=5 i.e. 35

• go through options it is easy.
  35=3+5=8
  35=8(4)+3=35

• first equation is 10x+y=4(x+y)+3;
  second is 10x+y+18=10y+x;
  by solving these equations we obtain x=3 and y=5,
  so the number is 10*3+5=35

• first eqn 10x+y-4(x+y)=3
  second eqn 10x+y+18=10y+x
  solving both eqn we get x=2 and y=3
  so the number is 23

• 10*a+b=4(a+b)+3;
  10a+b+18=10b+a;

• 10x+y = 4(x+y) =3 ---(1)
  10x+y+18 = 10y+x -----(2)
  
  solve these equaations..

• 35 is the answer

• 4(x+y)+3=10x+y
  also
  10x+y+18=10y+x
  hence solving we get 35

  it can be obtained by adding one previous term i.e. first +second=third term, second+third=fourth and so on.........
