help me guysssss
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
Let n=a10+b. then a+b=8.
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
n+36=b10+a
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dis is d second step???????
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
i think u can work from here on your own.

since u have two variables (the two digits) u must try to obtain two equations.
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
well n=a10+b and
n=b10+a-36
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
so a10+b=b10+a-36 so
\[ \large -9a-9b=-36 \]
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
therefore youu have the system
\[ \large \begin{cases}
a+b=8\\ -9a-9b=-36
\end{cases} \]
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
wait. there's something wrong. the system i wrote is inconsistent.

no need i ll do it
thx for ur help anyway
hartnn (hartnn):
9a-9b=-36
hartnn (hartnn):
so a10+b=b10+a-36 so
−9a−9b=−36<-----*
9a-9b=-36

u r right @hartnn
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
so we have the system
\[ \large \begin{cases}
a+b=8\\ -9a+9b=36
\end{cases} \]
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
now it is consistent!!
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
solve this and u r done.
