3) The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits
is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete
the activity to find the original number.

Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place is y and the digit in the ten’s place is 𝑥.
∴ The number = 10 𝑥 + 𝑦
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits =

∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132

∴ 10 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 10 𝑦 + 𝑥 =

∴x+y= (I)

, By second condition,

Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
