The sum of the digits in a two-digit number is 7. If you add 1 to each digit, you get a number that is 11 more than the specified number. What number is given?
Let the figure responsible for tens = X.
And the figure responsible for the units = U.
Then:
X + Y = 7;
Y = 7 – X.
The initial number can be written like this:
X * 10 + Y = X * 10 + 7 – X = 9 * X + 7.
The number formed by adding one to each digit can be written as follows:
(X + 1) * 10 + Y + 1 = 10 * X + 10 + 7 – X + 1 = 9 * X +18.
Their difference is 11:
9 * X + 18 – 9 * X – 7 = 11;
11 = 11.
This result suggests that there are many solutions, provided that:
Y = 7 – X.
Let’s check:
Let X = 2.
Y = 7 – 2 = 5.
The number is 25.
Adding 1 to each digit will give a new number: 36.
36 – 25 = 11.
All conditions are met.
