Question 44

In a two-digit number, the difference between the digits is 4, and 10 times the number is equal to 14 times the sum of the number obtained by adding the digits of the original and the number formed by reversing the digits. Find the number.

Let the number be x y. Hence $$|x-y| = 4$$ and 10(10x+y)=14(10y+x+x+y)= 14(11y+2x) = 154y+28x => 100x+10y=154y+28x = 72x = 144y => x=2y.
Hence y=4 => x=8. Hence the number is 84
