9 & 90
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay but could you show me how you got that answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i would guess and check on this one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10 and 100 don't work because 100 - 10 =90
so try 9 and 90 and see that it works
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let the number be x so another will be 10x
10x -x = 81
9x = 81
x = 9
10x = 90
