Question:1
The units digit of a two-digit number is 3 and seven times the sum of the digits is the number itself. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the tens place digit be x.
The units place digit is 3.
? Number = 10x +3
              ... 1
 
Given:
7x +3
= 10x +3
7 x + 21 = 10 x + 3
? 10 x - 7x = 21 - 3
? 3 x  = 18
or x = 6
Using x = 6 in equation 1
:
The number is 63.
Question:2
In a two-digit number, the digit at the units place is double the digit in the tens place. The number exceeds the sum of its digits by 18. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the tens digit be x.
The digit in the units place is 2x.
Number = 10x + 2x
Given:

Question:3
A two-digit number is 3 more than 4 times the sum of its digits. If 18 is added to the number, its digits are reversed. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the tens place digit be a and the units place digit be b.
Then, number is 10a +b
.
According to the question:
4a +b
+ 3 = 10a +b
 
4a + 4b + 3 = 10a + b
6a - 3b = 3
32a -b
= 3
2a - b =1            ... 1
Given:
If 18 is added to the number, its digits are reversed.
The reverse of the number is 10b +a
.
? 10a +b
+ 18 = 10b + a
10a - a + b -10b = -18
9a - 9b = -18

Question:4
The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15. The number obtained by interchanging its digits exceeds the given number by 9. Find the original number.
Solution:
Let the tens place digit be a and the units place digit be b.
Then, the number is 10a +b
.
?Given:
a + b = 15         ... 1
When the digits are interchanged the number will be 10b +a
.
Given:

? 10a - a + b - 10b = -9
9a - 9b = -9 ? a - b = -1            ... 2
Adding equations 1
and 2
:
a + b = 15
a - b  = -1    
2a     = 14
 ? a = 7
Using a = 7 in equation 2
:
7 - b = -1
? b = 8
Original number = 10a+b = 10 ×
7 + 8 = 78
Question:5
The difference between a 2-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging its digits is 63. What is the difference between the digits of the number?
Solution:
Let the tens place digit be 'x' and the units place digit be 'y'.
? Number =  10x +y
Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10y +x
Given: 10x +y
- 10y +x
= 63
? 10x - x + y - 10 y = 63
9x - 9y = 63
9x -y
= 63
x - y = 7
Therefore, the difference between the digits of the number is 7.
