Q:

The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 14. The difference between the tens digit and the units digit is 2. If x is the tens digit and y is the ones digit, which system of equations represents the word problem? xy = 14 and x - y = 2x + y = 14 and x - y = 2x + y = 14 and y - x = 2

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:B. x + y = 14 and x - y = 2Step-by-step explanation:Sum means addition, so the sum of the tens digit (x) and the ones digit (y) is equal to 14 (x + y = 14).Difference means subtraction, so the difference between the tens digit (x) and the ones digit (y) is 2 (x - y = 2).I hope this helps =)
