The digits of a 2 digit number differ by 3. Is the digits are interchanged, and the resulting number is added to the original number, we get 143. What can be the number?

58

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's note the two digits a and b. the first number 'ab' can be written as 10a +b. For instance if this is 24 it can be written 20 + 4.

If the digits are interchanged the number become 'ba' so 10b + a

We can say that 10a + b + 10b + a = 143

11(a+b)=143

We divide by 13 both sides and we take

a+b = 143/11 = 13

and we know that the digits differ by 3 so b = a + 3

then a + b = a + 3 + a = 2a + 3 = 13

so 2a = 10 and then a = 5

Finally, b = 5+3=8 so the number is 58.

And we can verify that 58 + 85 = 143.
