Question

Ydia is having a party on Saturday. She decides to write a riddle on her invitations to describe her house number on Cypress Street. Use the clues below to find Lydia's address. My address is a 5−digit number. The tens digit is 6 less than 8. The thousands digit is twice the digit in the tens place. The hundreds digit is the greatest odd number that is less than 10. The ones digit is the product of 6 and 1. The ten thousands digit is the difference between the hundreds digit and the ones digit.

Answer 1

Ydia's address is: 62943

Step-by-step explanation

Represent the digit as ABCDE such that:

`A = Ones`

`B = Tens`

`C = Hundred`

`D = Thousand`

`E = Ten\ Thousand`

Analyzing the statements one after the other:

The tens digit is 6 less than 8

`B = 8 - 6`

`B = 2`

The thousands digit is twice the digit in the tens place.

`D = 2B`

`D = 2 * 2`

`D = 4`

The hundreds digit is the greatest odd number that is less than 10.

`C = 9`

The ones digit is the product of 5 and 1.

`A = 6 * 1`

`A = 6`

The ten thousands digit is the difference between the hundreds digit and the ones digit.

`E = C - A`

`E = 9 - 6`

`E = 3`
